Marine VHF radio is changing. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System imposed mandatory requirements on commercial shipping to carry new, more effective, radio equipment. Now the many thousands of small craft users are being trained to use new equipment and procedures for improved safety and efficiency of communication.
More and more vessels are being equipped with the new style of radio which has DSC (Digital Selective Calling). Only those people who have qualified for the new Short Range Certificate are now licensed to control the use of the this equipment. The SRC course is intensive, seeking to teach or revise all the basics of Marine VHF then cover all the new equipment and procedures, usually taking just one day.
This new Tutorial has been specially produced to make it much easier to get the best from the SRC course by covering the basics of VHF and VHF procedures, then introducing DSC and how it integrates with established methods. Typical DSC equipment is then examined and all the button-pushing procedures are animated. Users who then take the SRC course can concentrate on learning good communication skills, not just button pushing.
Like most LightMaster software, this tutorial is Fully Interactive, giving you the chance to control the demonstrations and to gain actual hands-on experience in operating the equipment. This is not a book or video on CD, but fully interactive multimedia learning.
Requirements Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 or XP. 25 Mb HDD or run from CD. Graphics SVGA (800 x 600) or XGA (1024 x 768). Sound Card/Speakers
