VHF radio certificates SRC and UBI

If a corresponding radio system is on board, water sports enthusiasts must - depending on the sailing area - obtain a restricted radio operating certificate (SRC) or a VHF radiotelephone certificate for inland navigation (UBI) in order to participate in radio communications. This textbook provides practical preparation for the maritime (SRC) and inland radio (UBI) exams, but also serves as a reference work for everyday life on board. The clear structure of the book (theory and practical knowledge separated) and the illustrative examples - in maritime radio also in English - provide efficient and optimal preparation for the exam. The textbook is supplemented with the official marine radio texts and the official question catalog for SRC and UBI and is therefore also ideal for self-study.The textbook describes in detail the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), in which digital communication via VHF DSC, AIS or EPIRB plays a role. However, it is also important for recreational boaters to know how to behave in an emergency at sea, how to take part in radio communication in the area and in locks, how to contact radar advisors and how to communicate between ships on a day-to-day basis. 164 pages, 37 illustrations; 14 photos; format 13.0 x 20.2 cm; paperback; Klaus Schlösser
