Recenzii

Radio technology is becoming more complicated, but this guide will demystify the equipment. The book covers radio procedure, channel allocation, VHF radio theory and more, along with a full explanation of GMDSS, including details on EPIRBs, SARTs and Navtex.
Very well laid out, the Handbook covers all aspects of marine radio usage. It should be kept within easy reach of the radio as time is frequently a major factor.
