A practical introduction and advanced exercises

Radio Tutor supports you from the moment you switch on the radio for the first time right through to conducting full radio conversations.

A wide range of exercises carried out directly on the equipment ensure learning progress and provide the best possible preparation for the ‘SRC’ and ‘UBI’ examinations.

The course covers the operation of equipment, the reception and transmission of DSC (SRC) and radio messages, as well as the associated operating procedures and the use of the Inland Waterways Radio Manual (UBI).

Sharing radio communications online

Create virtual radio rooms and ‘chat’ with friends, colleagues or fellow course participants directly on your device via the internet.

For voice and data

Supports Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and two-way radio

Optional: Text chat

Exchange of information for the purposes of coordination and consultation.

AI support

Analysis of radio communications

Please speak directly into the microphone whilst completing the practical tasks. Radio Tutor uses OpenAI to convert your speech into text, analyses it and provides you with a prompt response.

Dictation

Have your maritime radio or inland waterway dictations marked and, if required, have the English translation included as well.

Privacy comes first.

If you don’t want your voice or your practice exercises to be sent to OpenAI, that’s no problem. Simply mark them yourself – the AI analysis is optional.
