Marine Radio

Marine radio in Australia is operated in the following frequency bands.
 •   In the range HF band (27MHz) using Amplitude Modulation (AM)
 •   In the VHF band (156MHz to162MHz) using Frequency Modulation (FM)

The HF band can be badly affected by radio traffic coming in from distant locations; HF radio waves have the ability to ‘skip’ under the ionosphere and your local conversation might be suddenly interrupted (as atmospheric conditions change through the day) by someone having their own conversation on that same channel half way around the world.  HF communications (particularly over a sideband) can however provide a bit more range than VHF.  Sideband Marine sets are quite rare these days but we do have models available for sale.

A Certificate of Proficiency (CoP) is required to operate a VHF marine radio whereas the CoP is not required for the 27MHz marine radios.  Contact us if you need more information.
