From the author of the best-selling RYA Navigation Handbook, this is the RYA's official title to support the RYA VHF Operator's Short Range Certificate examination. It expands upon the quick reference VHF Radio inc GMDSS book (G22) to assist with a deeper level of understanding which will help you pass the exam. It details everything that sailors need to know about using VHF radios including how they work, the rules and regulations which govern it and the procedures that must be followed. In helping you prepare for the test, the book links the easy-to-follow text to the syllabus to give you all you need to know to pass the exam. The clear instruction and colourful illustrations make this complicated yet highly important subject much clearer and will help you learn the call procedures. This is an essential learning tool and ideal background reading for anyone taking a VHF course. Please note: This book is also included in the RYA Marine Radio (SRC) Course Pack. Review: Brilliant - If you are taking the VHF SRC (Short Range Certificate) course then look no further. Tim Bartlett has done a magnificent job with this book as a learning aid. I took my SRC recently and with the aid of this book I absolutely flew through it. Very, very clear and simple step by step instructions on how to use the VHF radio for normal as well as emergency communications. Extremely graphically illustrated with colorful animated characters conversing on the radio to and fro. Covers the use of all necessary electronic rescue equipment. Fantastic publication, highly recommend. Review: VHF Handbook - I have just taken the RYA VHF course and used this book as pre-reading. The book contains more information than was covered in the course but helped in my overall understanding. If you just want to pass the course then you dont necessarily need to buy this handbook- if you want to have a reference for later, then this book is useful.

VHF Handbook
I have just taken the RYA VHF course and used this book as pre-reading. The book contains more information than was covered in the course but helped in my overall understanding. If you just want to pass the course then you dont necessarily need to buy this handbook- if you want to have a reference for later, then this book is useful.

Excellent little book
This is just what you need to prepare for the SRC exam. Well written and concise it is easy to read and covers the syllabus comprehensively. Just a pity that it doesn't include a couple of mock exam papers, or at least specimen questions at the end of each section, which would allow one to check ones progress.

Invaluable but Buyer Beware
This book will tell you all you need to know about using a VHF radio on a boat, but... DO NOT BUY if you are planning to do the RYA SRC VHF course - you will get a copy as part of the course materials.

Great reference for marine VHF radios
This book is very clear, with nice examples that cover all possible situations on the water, the graphics are well done and it's printed on high quality glossy paper. It has helped me pass the licence exam, good to have for quick reference too.

It is a good RYA handbook with good content - however, be aware the text print is really small. Buy the eBook instead

RYA VHF Handbook
Ricomprato per aver smarrito il volume originale dato per brevetto SRC. Utile per procedure da utilizzare con radio VHF munite di DSC. Utile comunque per le trasmissioni di soccorso con VHF. Dovrebbero averlo letto tutti , in mare se ne sentono di tutti i colori.
