Radio
An instrument that uses electromagnetic waves to communicate with other vessels. VHF (very high frequency) radios are common for marine use, but are limited in range. SSB (single sideband) radios have longer ranges.
radio beacon - A transmitter that is located at a fixed location, thus enabling vessels to determine their position.
radio bearing - A direction determined by radio.
