RYA VHF Marine Radio (SRC)

This one day course covers operation of marine VHF radios fitted with Digital Selective Calling (DSC). As part of the Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS) the DSC facility automates many of the procedures traditionally carried out on channel 16. This qualification is a mandatory requirement for anyone wishing to use the new generation of DSC/GMDSS radios. The course assumes no prior knowledge, and covers all the theory required combined with practical experience on our training radios. It is suitable for any marine leisure user - including; Canal Boaters on the tidal Thames, wind surfers, kayakers, kite surfers etc.

Course Fee £95 (£80 for EYC members). For RYA certification you also need to bring a cheque of £60 made payable to the RYA.
