Format: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This book is NOT out of date - the previous review refers to the 1st Edition, this is the 2nd edition printed in 2006.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...

Format: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.

Format: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This well-written and nicely illustrated book is now unfortunately out of date.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.
