As this was very popular, Icom UK has written a follow-up about the basic things you should be looking at when using your marine VHF radio.

The article provides ideas on how to get you comfortable in using your marine VHF radio. The emphasis being that the more you are familiar with the features, the more confident you will become using your VHF naturally without thinking about it.
