About the Book

Chapters: Marine Vhf Radio, Simrad Yachting. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 26. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Marine VHF radio is installed on all large ships and most seagoing small craft. It is used for a wide variety of purposes, including summoning rescue services and communicating with harbours, locks, bridges and marinas, and operates in the VHF frequency range, between 156 to 174 MHz. Although it is widely used for collision avoidance, its use for this purpose is contentious and is strongly discouraged by some countries, including the UK. A marine VHF set is a combined transmitter and receiver and only operates on standard, international frequencies known as channels. Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) is the international calling and distress channel. Channel 9 can also be used in some places as a secondary call and distress channel. Transmission power ranges between 1 and 25 watts, giving a maximum range of up to about 60 nautical miles (111 km) between aerials mounted on tall ships and hills, and 5 nautical miles (9 km) between aerials mounted on small boats at sea-level. Frequency modulation is used, with vertical polarization, meaning that antennas have to be vertical in order to have good reception. Modern day marine VHF radios not only offer basic transmit and receive capabilities, many package additional features that truly make these radios indispensable for the mariner. For the last several years all fixed mount marine VHF radios have required by certification some level of "Digital Selective Calling" (DSC) calling capability. Even the basic set has the ability to alert other boats, ships, and shore stations with a single button press. More expensive radios offer far more extensive DSC capabilities. These may include position polling or a variety of group calling options....More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=50818
