I have Cobra 17-mile-range radios and I would like to be able to contact Coast Guards in an emergency situation while windsurfing and sailing on the SF Bay. Your advice may help to save life! Thank you!

as long as they function on the comparable frequency, they are going to artwork. There are some diverse frequency levels used for W-Ts. CB makes use of frequencies interior the form of 27 MHz, with channels numbered from a million to 40. some CB W-Ts function on basically one or a number of the obtainable channels; basically the biggest ones have the two 23 or all 40 channels. For a single-channel unit, one might desire to appreciate or be certain what channel or frequency it rather is desperate up for. maximum single-channel ones are production facility-set to channel 14. Then there are 40 9 MHz W-Ts, heavily promoted with the help of Radio Shack 15 years or so in the past, with some channels (i don't remember if it became 3 or 5). And we've FRS (no license required) and GMRS (license required) W-Ts, which proportion some frequencies interior the 460 MHz selection. So, you may desire to appreciate which form of radio you're utilising, and in all risk the channel variety or frequency, yet interior of everybody form, the variety does not count.

Judging by your age, I think you'll most likely be dead before the end of the decade.
Good riddance to you, Mr Spock.
