RYA VHF Marine Radio (SRC)

At Seavoice Training we firmly believe that correct procedure including a ‘hands on’ approach, regarding the RYA VHF Radio course, could save you or your crew’s lives, during a critical Mayday situation.

Think of the Marine DSC VHF Radio as your lifeline to the Maritime Emergency services. Remember also that it’s a legal requirement for someone on board your vessel to have the Short Range Certificate, if you’re going to operate a Marine VHF Radio.
