So that sounds to me like if you were monitoring another channel (let's say 71
for example) to keep in touch with friends you were sailing with then you'd be
exempt from the Ch. 16 rule?
Speaking for myself, I'll usually have the RAM mike on 71 but I'll keep the
handheld in the cockpit on 13 since we get a lot of freighter and tug traffic
in the L.I. Sound.

Yes, The rules recently changed (a couple of years ago). The requirement now
is that if you have a VHF radio it must be on and listening to Channel 16
except when in use on a working channel. There is not to my knowledge a
requirement for dual watch while you are on a working channel.

I have heard that it is an FCC, but not Coast Guard, requirement that the
VHF be turned on whenever the vessel is underway.
Can anyone confirm that?
