The boat radio.

The radio is an ICOM IC-M601, which can be used as a normal VHF set, but is also fully GMDSS capable. The manual can be downloaded from here as a PDF file. If you have broadband access to the internet, the ICOM American website has a streaming video showing how to use a set similar to ours to make a DSC call. Click here to go there.


The GPS.

The new(ish) GPS unit is the Humminbird 997c Si Combo that includes a GPS receiver/echo sounder and side scan sonar. The instruction manual for the unit (now classified as the 998c SI Combo after a software upgrade) can be downloaded from the Humminbird website here (click on the 'SUPPORT' button on the right and then 'Download Product Manual').
