Module 2 - VHF Radio Basics
Module completion standard
Mark VHF Radio Basics complete only when you can use it in a spoken scenario, not just when the terms look familiar.
The minimum standard is that you can build a correct, concise call, explain the channel or DSC choice, and identify what you would listen for next.
Key points
- I can explain Core fixed and handheld marine VHF Radio controls, listening watch, PTT, power, squelch, and range limits.
- I can apply VHF Radio controls, PTT and listening watch, High/low power, Squelch, Antenna and range to a realistic call.
- I can avoid this trap: Transmitting before listening or using high power when low power is enough.
- I know SRC revision does not replace the official course, exam, licence requirements, or practical radio operation standards.
