VHF Basics
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
When I purchased my first boat, I put little thought into the peripheral items that I would need. After making my initial down payment, I had little money left over for inner tubes, water skis and other accessories. One item that I was told was essential, however, was a VHF radio.
While on the water, VHF radios are the most reliable means of communication available. They allow you to have correspondence with other vessels and the mainland. The signal is designed to work very well within a relatively localized area, ensuring a true and reliable connection.
