Backup Handheld Radio

Time: 2 Minutes

Level: Beginners

Bravery Level: 3 Star - Now I know you must be wondering how I can give a Backup Radio a 3 Star Rating for Bravery.  Well all I can say is that both Mark and Bob were horrified when I drilled 2 holes in the Christopher-Jin to mount the holster to the outside cabin wall...beats me...I guess I just don't have that gene that worries a whole lot about holes...every bun intended.

Safty first.  I have a Handheld Radio that I have in a holder right above the compass on the Christopher-Jin.  I keep the main radio in the cabin tuned to Channel 16.  The Handheld is usually on the Weather Channel.  I switch it on every so often to see what's coming our way.  Weather conditions change rapidly on the Great Lakes.  It has rechargeable batteries and a marine plug adapter.
