Product Description

Review

'This user-friendly guide gets marne VHF radio users quickly up to speed in using both the analogue and digital functions on the radio.' Boat Mart 'This is the second edition of this clear and easy to understand reference work on VHF and DSC. A comprehensive but straightforward guide which, with many more rescue authorities around the world relying more and more on DSC for initial contact, is really a must have on board.' Gaffers Log 'In the usual Adlard Coles style, it is clearly and simply illustrated and very cleverly explained. A great reminder of all the theory and procedures relating to modern day usage of this still important medium.' Ausmarine (March 2007) 'User-friendly... a valuable on-board reference and aide-memoire. An essential companion when upgrading to a DSC VHF.' World Cruising Club Magazine (Spring/Summer 2007) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, NOT out of date..., 12 Jan 2009

Bill (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reed's VHF/DSC Handbook (Paperback)

This book is NOT out of date - the previous review refers to the 1st Edition, this is the 2nd edition printed in 2006. An excellent introduction to VHF DSC Marine Radio for anyone taking the RYA Short Range Certificate - a useful reference before, during, and after the course. Recommended by several Commercial training providers...

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction for beginners., 17 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Reed's VHF DSC Handbook (Paperback)

The VHF DSC Handbook is exactly that. It gives a concise but thorough introduction to most of the situations likely to be encountered when using a VHF radio. Easy to follow layout and explanations of technical terms mean this is book is a good place to start for people with little or no experience in using a VHF radio or DSC.

3.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, now out-of-date, 3 Dec 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Reed's VHF DSC Handbook (Paperback)

This well-written and nicely illustrated book is now unfortunately out of date. Since 1999, with the rapid development of DSC based services and the privatisation of the coast station activities, the maritime mobile services changed a lot. Sue Fletcher's book needs now a major refresh to reflect the current situation of coast stations (those involved in public correspondence and those involved in maritime rescue co-ordination). People preparing the Short Range Certificate would be delighted to get a fresh edition of this very readable book.
