So, the question becomes are NH commercial vessels, and I would argue that the NHMP falls into this category, required under USCG rules to carry Marine VHF radios and monitor VHF 16? 
BTW, I'll ask again. Did the NHMP issue a severe WX warning on VHF 16 for today's events? |
I doubt that CC regs, even if they applied to the MP boats would require a separate VHF radio when the on board Motorola carries the marine channels. It is the difference between a clock and a clock radio. The clock radio tells time the same as a clock.
As far as weather warnings, since you have your VHF radio, tune in to WX1 or WX2 for up to date weather. They broadcast all the time, continuously.
