Did you know it could do this???
Maybe I’m not alone on this one, but how many times have you used a piece of equipment for quite an extended period of time (maybe even your cell phone) and someone else (usually a teenager) shows you something that your phone is capable of doing that you had no clue of??? Well, I’m willing to bet that the same hold true with your VHF marine radio. Did you know that for the past several years, VHF radios have required by certification some level of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability? These may include position polling or a variety of group calling options. If you have a mid priced VHF radio, you probably have the ability to connect to a remote microphone and use your VHF radio as an intership intercom. All these things make your life a bit easier and provide you with that added sense of security when on the water for the day with your friends. Happy Boater.
