About this app

As a sailor you know that radio traffic - mainly in emergency - is very important and has to comply to a strict form to make messages compact, yet understandable. This ensures that the most information is transferred to coastal radio stations with the least time and effort. This application helps mariners or their co-boaters to compose various standardized VHF messages, including distress, MOB etc. based on user input. After supplying the necessary information the application generates the corresponding text to be transmitted to CRS.

Features include:

• Composing of distress, MOB, distress relay, distress ACK, urgency, safety and cancel alert messages
• Use of built-in GPS
• Save name of ship, call sign, MMSI and name of skipper in preferences for auto-fill
• Text to speech, to help those who have problems speaking out a written English text. Please make sure that your TTS service is set up correctly in order to pronounce English text.
