Only the clueless clog 16 with radio checks. If you want a real radio check, listen for a while on the working chnnels, find a boat that is out there, and call them directly, but not on 16.

Golf cart batteries

You will need two 6v Golf Cart Batteries, T-105''s or T-135''s. You wire them in series, plus to minus. You then have 12 volts. The reason to use them is that they are one of the few, and have no...
