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. ... Read more
