Marine radio

[Mouldz]

When the boat was surveyed in May we were told that our radio was outdated but not to worry as we should wait for the new radio and network coming soon,as of now we still in the dark (radio wave dark}
What radio are we supposed to be having for cat C??????

Who told you that, was it in Port Alfred ?

People talk a lot of nonsense, the only thing is that handhelds will not be accepted and if you get a VHF, get a radio with DSC.

If you look at the radio it has a button, covered by a red cover.

29 mhz will eventually be phased out, but nobody knows when.

There are dealers trying to get extra sales, by telling people that by the end of the year, 29meg will be out, but that is not true and that comes from ICASA.

If it is a mounted one then tell him to take a hike, or speak to Koos Arnold SAMSA.
