Marine Radios Review

If you ever have wondered just what is VHF and how does it work, maybe we can shed a bit of light on this today. VHF frequency falls between HF (high frequency) and UHF (ultra high frequency). VHF radios have a precise area of broadcast because the ionosphere doesn’t usually reflect the signal very much beyond its immediate surroundings. Because of this fact, for reaching a target in close vicinity, you can’t beat a VHF radio. It doesn’t interfere with other broadcasts in the near vicinity.

There is, however, a disadvantage to VHF frequency – some land features will block its signal. On the other hand, VHF users don’t have to be concerned with signals being obscured by buildings or distorted by naturalistic sounds in the atmosphere or by conflicting signals from nearby equipment.
