Details

Your VHF radio is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on your boat. But it can be hard to remember everything you need to know for effective and clear communication.

The Boat Galley Handy VHF Radio Reference is designed to be kept at the radio and referred to when making radio calls.

The sections of the radio guide quickly answer all your questions:

  • How do I get help in an emergency?
  • What channel should I use?
  • How do I phonetically spell a word?
  • How do I check if my radio is working correctly?
  • How do I tell other boaters about a danger to navigation?
  • When should I use high or low power?
  • What weather radio channel covers my area?
  • What's squelch and how do I use it?

In an emergency, the information in the Handy VHF Radio Reference will allow even an inexperienced radio user to operate the VHF.

Exactly what I needed

My irrational fear of using the VHF has been quelled with this reference guide. I will be keeping it on hand and know it will offer me the calm and confidence I was looking for as a newbie first mate.

Bought 2 of these for friends as gifts, and they've both reported back that they LOVE this handy guide. Lies flat (so helpful) and has all the critical information they need right at their fingertips.
