How Do I Know My Marine Radio Is Ready For An Emergency?

Once set up correctly, your marine radio will be ready for any emergency. Here are a few simple steps to take.

1. Get a waterproof VHF radio that suits your style - a handheld marine VHF radio can be carried with you or attached to your lifejacket so it's permanently on hand if needed. Mounted VHF radios usually have even greater range, although they may be harder to access if your boat capsizes. For a safety-first approach, always carry a portable and fixed marine radio onboard.
2. Undertake marine radio operator training - knowing how to use your equipment is vital in the event of an emergency. Open water can be dangerous in heavy swells or when the weather turns nasty, so it's important to have confidence in your marine radio, along with your ability to use it properly.
3. Get a call sign for your boat - this will ensure your radio transmission is individually identifiable. Your call sign will be registered on a search and rescue database, allowing authorities to locate you fast in an emergency.
4. Check VHF radio coverage every time you head out on the water - keep in mind that VHF isn't always reliable on inland waterways.

Should I Also Carry Other Communications Equipment?

It is always a good idea to have more than one emergency communication device onboard. Check out high quality GME Emergency Position Radio Beacon (EPIRB) products at Anaconda for additional safety when plying waters far from the coast. We also stock a range of flares, like the Pains Wessex Flare Kits that provide 30,000 candela light intensity.
