Well don't they know where everyone is with radar so presumably they know you were the closest boat. You could claim that you didn't hear the distress call but then questions start to get asked about why you were out with a non-functional radio? It's probably illegal to have non-functional safety equipment.

I guess it's possible but it's not really worth it. I don't think anyone expects you to put your life in danger so if you turn up to a boat and it's on fire or something i don't think anyone would expect you to take action then.

My radio started acting up after we left port and failed overnight while on the water.... What do I do.

Go back to port if theres no emergency, otherwise use your emergency rescue beacon or backup radio.
