Yes, like a hailing horn. If it is like those from the 60's , you can also
listen through it. I actually have one, just never installed it. Couldn't
see something to tacky on a boat I raced. I got my first SH in 2000 after
returning from an ICW trip to FLA with a power boater neighbor. Two things,
he was also a pilot, so was very good on the radio. As he was notifying
sailboats that he was going to pass them, he commented, or wondered, why they
never acknowledged. I told him that they no doubt didn't hear him, Not having
an active radio and not wanting to use up their batteries. So we both learned
something. Then in Atlantic City I met a nice couple on a Swan with a SH with
a RAM Mic at the helm . I bot one when I got home, and I am now on my third
generation. Transmission on a hand held won't get you out of the Ball Park.

Subject: Stus-List What's a Loud Hailer?
Sort of a companion thread to my GX2200 post. Is a loud hailer used to audibly
state one's position - or else, maybe to shout, "Hey you, get outta the way!".
Is an additional speaker needed, e.g.

Never been in the fog (on the water).
Thanks in advance,
