Module 2 - VHF Radio Basics
Applied SRC scenario
Scenario: A small craft operator must apply VHF Radio Basics during a busy coastal trip while maintaining a listening watch and clear voice procedure.
A good answer should include the call priority, the channel or DSC action, the first spoken phrase, the details to include, and the expected follow-up.
Key points
- Use VHF Radio controls to identify what kind of traffic this is.
- Use Listen before transmitting before choosing the next transmission.
- Avoid the main trap: Transmitting before listening or using high power when low power is enough.
- State what you would do if no station replies the first time.
