This would affect channels 24, 84, 25, 85, 26, 86, 27 and 28 important to know: these channels may then no longer be used for analog voice transmission. The new digital data exchange system VDES is on the rise “It was decided that certain VHF channels of Annex 18 of the Radio Regulations should be used exclusively for VDES in the future”, says yacht electronics specialist Werner Ober, who runs a company of the same name in Lustenau.
Through the 20 World Radiocommunication Conferences of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it was determined that the conditions should be created to introduce a new digital data exchange system on VHF channels (VHF Data Exchange System, or VDES for short). SeaHelp spoke about the upcoming changes with yacht electronics specialist Werner Ober. However, certain channels are to be used exclusively for VDES in the future. This will continue to be the case in the future, because the radio is clearly superior to mobile radio, especially in maritime emergencies or when logging on at marinas. VHF radio (marine radio) has been one of the most important communication means on yachts for many years.
