Two Way Radios Available for Marine
Marine radios can generally be supplied as either handheld radios or fixed units. A fixed unit could be installed on the vessel’s bridge, and handheld units could be used by any personnel operating around the vessel.
A handheld radio could also be used by smaller carriers such as kayaks, jet skis or dinghies. Many units are manufactured with waterproofing in mind, and the new award-winning IC-M25EURO from ICOM is equipped with ‘Float and Flash’ Technology, meaning if units are lost they can be easily found again.
Fixed units have added benefits of being capable of alerting local vessels and providing location data. In the instances of distress or Man Overboard situations, at the simple press of a button, they can send a distress call to all units and coast guards within their operational areas. These messages can be vital in the safe rescue of any vessel or sailor in distress.
A variant of marine radios are being produced to include Digital Selective Calling (DSC) technology. Radios capable of DSC will send their individual vessel number, the Maritime Mobile Security Identifier (MMSI), and the location details if available. These details can help guide responding vessels, saving critical time.
