Interesting they would be using the lower side
as most type accepted maritime radios would default to upper.




Type accepted? You're kidding, right?

I would say a large percentage of them use Kenwood/Yaesu/Icom radios,
modded to TX "everywhere". There was a group on Kenwood TS-450's years
ago, trying to figure out how to do some stuff on it. Only one of the
boats had the manual. It was pretty funny.
