Mar 7, 2017

The first order period for the ICOM VHF DSC Simulator was a huge success. Not only were there over 30 units ordered across the country, there were several enquiries after the order period closed. For those who missed the first deadline, 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 March 31, 2017 so place your order today to avoid disappointment.
