Radio Equipment

Purchasing a marine VHF Radio is probably one of the most sensible things you can do if you do not own one and you do own a boat. Whether it is a handheld VHF or a fixed VHF radio these are both probably the most important items of equipment on your safety checklist. It is NOT safe to rely on mobile phones in case of emergency as reception can be intermittent and also nobody else can hear your call. With a marine VHF radio the Coastguard can fix your position by means of triangulation, but also your emergency broadcast will be heard by any other craft in the area.
