| The following is a USPS member course |
Marine Electronics will start Monday, 28 January at the Barnstable Middle School
library instructed by D/Lt/C Paul Brown, SN. If you are interested in attending,
contact Paul or Evan Croft as soon as possible.
The Marine Electronics course consists of three modules: ME 101, Boat Electrical
Systems; ME 102, Marine Radio Communications; and ME 103, Marine Electronics for
Navigation. There are no prerequisites for any of these modules; however, it is
suggested that a member take ME 101 before taking ME 102. All three modules must
be successfully completed to receive credit for Marine Electronics.
ME 101, Boat Electrical Systems, provides information about properties
of electricity, electrical power requirements and wiring practices, direct current
power, alternating current power, galvanic and stray-current corrosion, lightning
protection, and electrical interference.
ME 102, Marine Radio Communications, delves into radio waves and
transmitters, receivers and transceivers, antennas and transmission lines, FCC
Rules and Regulations, FCC Frequency Plan, marine radiotelephone operating
procedures, and other communication services (Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon (EPIRB), Digital Selective Calling (DSC), Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS), satellite communications, amateur radio, and more).
ME 103, Marine Electronics for Navigation, presents information on
depth sounders, RADAR, LORAN-C, GPS Navigation, and two new chapters:
Electronic Charting, and Computer-Assisted Navigation (CAN). Members may take
this module independent of any other ME module.
