This brand new book incorporates all the information required to pass the Short Range Certificate, which is compulsory for anyone using a VHF DSC radio, and forms part of the process of obtaining the Day Skipper qualification. The book covers radio procedure, channel allocation, VHF radio theory and more, along with a full explanation of GMDSS, including details on EPIRBs, SARTs and Navtex.
The Reeds VHF Handbook is an essential onboard reference, and set to become the standard work on the subject.

A highly experienced yachtsman, he also produced several editions of the Reeds Astro Navigation Tables, as well as writing Your First Channel Crossing and The Yacht Owner’s Manual for Adlard Coles.
