IMPA 370133 — Two-way VHF Radiotelephone, GMDSS, for Survival Craft

Description

Two-way VHF radiotelephone built to the GMDSS requirement for survival craft communication — the apparatus crews use to talk between the survival craft, the ship and the rescue boat. Under SOLAS Chapter III Regulation 6 (1983 amendment), every cargo ship of 500 gross tons or more carries at least three of these sets, and the GMDSS requirements (1988 amendment) call for a watertight model. The design also guards against accidentally selecting VHF channel 16 on equipment that can work that frequency.
