Excellent reference book for GMDSS system. Also used as a text book at the California Maritime Academy (for those of you wondering if this is the book he wants you to get).

The book is informative and yet has wealth of details of GMDSS.
I recommend it for the people who are interested to GMDSS and
IMO regulations.

"We are entering in new age of telecommunication., All industries and professions are using advanced technology. In the maritime, we know the importance of communication and its way like use of INMARSAT, AIS, ARPA, RADARS and other Radio equipments, like the same is GMDSS and MARS systems. I found very good information which i don't know yet.

This is about the best general reference out there on the subject of GMDSS. The only drawback to the text is that it is SOMEWHAT dated, but that is because it is a text on electronics, and became dated on it's way to the printers. Still, if you need info on GMDSS, this is where to go. It is currently used as a textbook for the GMDSS course at Great Lakes Maritime academy.
