SIMRAD MARINE VHF DSC Radio RS10

VHF MARINE radios are quickly becoming the marine radio of choice by marine rescue and other authorities. It will soon make the old 27meg radio obsolete and the new series VHF have DSC (Digital Selective Calling). This is a semi-automated way to establish VHF, MF and HF radio communications. It is the international standard with IMO (International Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).
Calls can be categorised to help determine the urgency.

Successful Fishing using colour sonar fishfinders

Any sonar fish finder rely greatly on the transducer. The wider the coverage the better the results.
Why colour? The answer is simple. better sunlight view ability and greater contrast.
The actual depth capability of any sonar depends on the transducer configuration, installation, bottom and the water conditions.
All sonar units usually read deeper in fresh water.
