VHF DSC Simulator – New Order Period Announced
Oct 12, 2017
The first two order periods for the ICOM VHF DSC Simulator were a huge success. Not only were there 40 units ordered across the country, there were several enquiries after the last order period closed. For those who missed the first two deadlines, there is now another opportunity to place an order for this excellent classroom value added teaching tool.
In cooperation with CPS-ECP, ICOM Canada has created a new VHF DSC Simulator that can add value for all Squadrons teaching the VHF Maritime Radio course. This simulator is now available to squadrons and districts to purchase through a simple build to order program. The next order period closes November 30, 2017 so place your order today to avoid disappointment.
