  10. SC-101 DSC Radio • SC-101 is a RTCM standard for VHF-DSC • Inexpensive radios • Lesser capability, e.g., one receiver • Looser tolerances on electronic standards • USPS has always recommended Class D

  11. SC-101 DSC Radio • SC-101 is a RTCM standard for VHF-DSC • Inexpensive radios • Lesser capability, e.g., one receiver • Looser tolerances on electronic standards • USPS has always recommended Class D • 25 Mar 2011: Prohibition on manufacture, importation, sale and installation [of SC-101] fixed mount VHF • 47 CFR 80.225(a)(4) • 25 Mar 2012: Prohibition on manufacture, importation, sale and installation [of SC-101] handheld VHF Bottom Line: Don’t buy a SC-101 radio

  12. VHF-DSC and GPS • More education is needed • Recreational users are not registering in appreciable numbers • DSC radios are not being programmed with MMSIs • GPS units are not being interfaced to the radios • OBTAIN a MMSI • PROGRAM your radio • HOOK UP your GPS

  13. VHF-DSC and GPS • USCG facing high costs of SAR • USCG is proposing a rule to require mandatory position indicating signaling devices on non-compulsory vessels • EPIRB or PLB for any vessel going beyond the Three Mile Limit • DSC + GPS will satisfy requirement • Rule would be enforced upon boarding (just like flares, PFDs, etc.)

  14. LightSquared • Issue: LightSquared LLC has purchased spectrum for terrestrial and satellite-based Wi-Fi • $4B invested since 2004 • Through spectrum swaps and waivers, plan to develop 40,000 terrestrial stations in the L band, just below GPS frequencies • GPS is 90 dB below LS signals • Effectively shuts down civilian GPS over most urban areas • FCC has received thousands of comments; stay tuned

  15. New Courses – 1 • Marine Electrical Systems (ES) • Complete replacement for ME101 • 289 shipped 1H11 • AC and DC circuit theory • Wiring practices and troubleshooting • Batteries • Shore power and on-board power generation • Corrosion • Lightning protection • Revised Edition is in stock • Available now!

  18. Old vs. New ME • ME101/102/103 • Will continue to be stocked until all replacements are in general distribution • Successful completion of all three modules is required for Marine Electronics • ES/CS/NS • ES and CS are in general distribution • NS still in committee • Three standalone elective courses • Hybrid course completion is allowed • Contact R/C Gene if needed Earns One Credit Earns Three Credits
