Module 2 - VHF Radio Basics
Listening Before Transmitting on VHF Radio
A marine VHF Radio is a shared safety channel system. Before transmitting, listen first. If another station is using the channel, wait unless you have distress traffic.
Press-to-talk means only one station can speak at once. Think, press, speak clearly, release, and listen.
- Listen before transmitting
