DSC almost literally means no one is on the bridge. Distress can be completely automated and it changes listening radios voice channel to 16. At 1 watt, DSC bridge hailing is a casual call that you pick your favorite boat's MMSI number and change their voice channel to one you selected. If you have an older radio, keep it as a second radio at the wheel or near your bunk. It can also be a shore watch. Channels 68, 69, 71,72, and 78 are casual use frequencies. Without them, VHF would be an obnoxious stuffed shirt service. AIS is 2 frequencies and 2 wattages. Big boats run 12 watts. Common boats run 2 watts. They can actually use a common boat antenna, but a slightly shortened antenna is optimal. The real beauty of AIS is that the system is contained in the radios of the boats receiving each other. AIS can work anywhere. Satellites and special stations can piggyback on AIS, without hurting it. A CB radio is a must have fo more utility and fun. You use it skillfully.

Very relevant video.

Back when I started cruising with my father, back in 1976, we had a vhf radio the size of a small modern drawer fridge lol and the back stay was the antenna.

It worked great, never missed a beat and for memory it had vhf and AM, VHF was for short distance and AM was for long distance.

These are very basic pieces of equipment and still fully monitored today.

Im always concerned when I see new yachting youtube channels basing their navigation on not much more than a cell phone. Its insanity!

Another basic piece of equipment we used back then was a radio direction finder which proved invaluable when our starter motor broke down and was repaired in the cockpit which absolutely destroyed the correcting magnets for the compass.

I know that GPS and modern communication makes all these things seem obsolete or "old hat" but when modern communication goes down, which it does, youll thank your lucky stars you had these in the bottom drawer of your nav desk.

Cheers

Within the first minute bad information. Channel 16 is for emergency use only. Calling the coast guard, harbormaster, declaring an emergency (mayday), non life threatening serious issue(pan pan) or an important navigational issue(security). Hailing other boats should be done on channel 9.

Just came across this edition Tim. Well done! Simply the best short (watchable) video on the importance of the VHF and it's functionality. I can only hope that every boater would watch this. One of the questions I've always had was: Why isn't there a timer on the VHF (particularly channel 16) that cuts off the transmitter after about 1 or 2 minutes, five on the outside? If you haven't relayed your call in that time there is something really wrong! Once the call is terminated after the timer kicks in, you would be able to re-activate by hitting the transmit button again. Such a feature would stop all of these dummies that don't store their microphones properly and create long periods of open microphones that disrupt the channel. I've heard some that literally go on for hours, voices in the background discussing fishing, wives, businesses, etc., all while cutting off communications for everyone around them. The technology should exist that can do that! Keep up the excellent videos (and, of course) the digital magazine.

Are their nautical communication courses available?
Where are these radios available for purchase?

I sail in the lower Chesapeake. Lots of ship traffic. I use ch. 13 bridge to bridge if i have to contact them. I use a phone app to simulate ais so i can call them by name . Works way better than calling "blue hull container ship leaving Norfolk harbor."

Have a mayday cheat sheet next to the radio. In a panic you will forget how to make one.
