Vox Maris simulates by software the Watch Receiver 2182 equipment. All stations vessel while at sea, should maintain a continuous watch on the radiotelephone distress frequency 2182 kHz. This equipment is a dedicated receiver that listens on the medium wave frequency (MF). This frequency is similar to VHF Channel 16, both being essential part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).
Its operation is very simple and allows fast and efficient emergency communications, emergency or routine with other vessels. The operation and the graphical display of the equipment are simulated emulating the real equipment available in the market, achieving an unique realism by software allowing the user to operate in the same way that it would on the real equipment. Even the simulator is ready to operate with touch-screen, thereby increasing the realism achieved.
Among the most important simulated functions includes:
- On/Off
- Volume Control
- Test
- Reset
- Mute
- Automatic activation upon receipt of signal in the 2182 frequency
