You can play with our "live" DSC radio's on the stand.
They are set up so you can send messages back and forth between them.
This inc's all levels of DSC messages, distress, safety, urgency and individaul.

You can also send "live" voice between them as well.

Please feel free to come and spend as much time as you wish on the stand trying out DSC.
I and the team will be on hand to walk you through or refresh your memory and help in anyway we can.

Just another idea to help.

Bruce this is an excellent offer , did the school you did your course at not have live vhf's if it did then still think a refresher will help you. Its ok being out there as you say but how many messages are you going to send to another rib , you will also be restricted as to what you can send, if the answer is no to my question then find a school near you that does use live radio, failing that send your son or wife on a course as a back up .

FWIW - an old but true saying. "As you train, so shall you respond.." So, don't use mobie for conversation and keep VHF for when there is a HVAC/Merde collision - get familiar with the VHF for appropriate and routine comms so you can use it when you have to.

Other ways of getting v. familiar is to become involved in a cruise/rescue rib work/mark laying etc. where you can use the vhf lots usually on private channels!

Alternatively - listen to the SAR helos working 16/67/0 (if you can) - these guys are hot! Be aware they will be using modified procedures - much more clipped and precise. Also available are some downloads on audio.sarwatch.co.uk which are from 5680Mhz but you'll get the gist...

And definitely stick MIRPDANIO somewhere near the radio/laminated card!

Cheers & have a happy & safe Xmas

Now there's a great offer Jon Brooks! And a very positive approach.

I get the feeling your team would be very welcoming and peeps wouldn't be made to feel foolish about asking you for information.

Thankfully our instructor was like that.


Biggles we tend to settle for Chn 77 for our little trips if that's any help.

Thanks Mrs,

We try!
I have always tried to make students I teach feel comfy.
They will not learn anything by being humiliated.

As I was once told and always teach by:-

What I hear I forget
What I see I remember but
What I do I understand

Hope you all had a good Xmas and Santa brought you all you wanted

Regards

Good for you sir!

This is a very, very poor show. Everyone knows that there's two k's in sukks.
who's the dumpy blonde?

[The Jackeens]

gArf stop stealing and doctoring photos from RIBsters
At least when you log on there use one of your known aliases

What are you 2 like...RW and gArf.... a bad combo once you get going
(Very funny tho' )

I fully intend to pass on your special greetings to JB today.
Jono Garton sends his luv and said something about doing a 'How Clean is Your Yard?' programme for BBC.

[The Jackeens]

We've given JB your description RW but could only hazard a guess as to what gArf looks like

He has jelly beans at his stand and 'twill be hugs and kisses all round if ye show up tomorrow.

Irrepressible Rogue Wave !

Anyway the Navman set looked neat too ....Stevetheboat and Jan are also doing a nice deal with the 6600.

All nice peeps. Worth talking to at the show. As for chandlers...a few of us were impressed by Pumpkin Marine.
