Where can you buy affordable marine radios?

Marine radio systems do not have to be expensive. You can pick up a marine radio that meets basic requirements for as little as 129 Euros. Spend around 350 Euros and you'll get a radio with a few more functions. Almost all radios in this low price range that are available come with DSC and GPS. Handheld radios are even cheaper, but should only be used as additional radio equipment on board. You can filter radios according to price and easily find one in a price range suitable to you.<a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/icom/marine-radios-for-boats#wherecanyoubuyaffordablemarineradios">Read more</a>

Why do I need an inland radio system?

Radios for use on rivers and lakes are often also called UBI radios in Germany. UBI stands for 'UKW-Sprechfunkzeugnis für den Binnenschifffahrtsfunk', and is the VHF broadcasting certificate required for inland navigation. On German inland waters, VHF radios for inland waterways must be permanently installed radios, handheld radios do not meet the requirements for inland waters. Inland radios use the ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) channel group and are therefore often referred to as ATIS radios. The transmitting power of ATIS radios is limited to 1 W in order not to interfere with surrounding radio traffic.<a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/icom/marine-radios-for-boats#whydoineedaninlandradiosystem">Read more</a>

Which radio do I need outside inshore waters?

Marine radios for use outside inland waters use the INT channel type, which stands for International. Marine radios transmit at 25 W with a significantly higher power than inland radios. It is advisable to choose a marine radio with DSC function. DSC stands for Digital Selective Calling. VHF marine radios with DSC make it easy for you to make a distress call in an emergency, and you can also radio other boats directly using their DSC number. All marine radios available from us have an integrated DSC function.<a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/category/icom/marine-radios-for-boats#whichradiodoineedoutsideinshorewaters">Read more</a>
