Re: marine v ham
We bought the boat in Cyprus last year.Sailed to Turkey and back.Navtex was dissapointing we seemed to only rx Haifa.Nothing on VHF and Port info was poor.
ON return we weretold about "the net", SSB, HF and weather focasts on the 2(?) Meg band.
All a bit of mumbo jumbo to me im afraid but I think I must improve my info sources.
Would a Rx only set do the trick and what frequencies would I need,is 2Meg correct?
I understand a Tx set would be a useful emergency back up.What are my low cost options? Any advice on this would be appreciated
