RYA VHF Marine Radio (SRC)

The Short Range Certificate (SRC) is the minimum qualification required by law to control the operation of VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on any British Flagged Vessel voluntarily fitted with a radio. This includes both fixed and hand held equipment using International Channels.

All new VHF sets are either fitted, or can be interfaced, with DSC allowing calls to specific vessels. If you hold the 'old,' VHF license (pre-1999) you need to upgrade your qualification if you purchase new equipment.

Learn the procedures for operation and gain the qualification on this one-day examined course.
