About the simulator

The simulator is intended to simulate marine radio and DSC exchange. It is based on two different types of modules : an instructor program used to keep list of radio simulators and simulate sending messages to them, and simulators of radio and DSC equipment.
The equipment simulators send and receive DSC messages and simulate radio exchange by transferring voice over network between computers (available only in networked versions).
All modules have built-in help files on functionality and rules of use which are activated by Help menu item in the insturctor program and by F1 key press for the equipment simulators.

Operating system

Written for Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

Standalone version

Standalone version is installed on only one computer, and this is why the voice radio exchange is not possible. However, all radio controls pertinent to this class of equiment are available for practice. The DSC message exchange is available in full, between the DSC message simulator and the DSC set.

Hardware requirements for standalone installation

No special hardware is required, only standard computer components. The requirements to the computer itself are very low, nothing special. The list of additional components is as follows :

• sound card
• headerphones with microphone or loudspeakers with microphone
