GMDSS SRC (UK)
For your safety at sea, a VHF maritime mobile radiotelephone is a must, but a DSC VHF maritime mobile radiotelephone is even better. By relying on digital technology and the use of satellites, the rescue teams will be able to help you more quickly and efficiently (Digital VHF, EPIRB, Sart etc).
However, the skipper has to learn to handle this new technology and is obliged to have a certificate to have it on board.
