Signaling Devices Are Used For Signaling During Emergencies or During Extreme Fog or Haze

 

Signaling Devices are used all over the world, including in regions such as Japan. A signaling device or appliance is necessary in times of low visibility, like heavy rain and fog, or when a boater wants to signal his or her intent or location by sounding his whistle. For instance, silent signals are required when negotiating in heavy traffic, crossing, and head-on. Head-on is another example where a boater can easily signal to other boaters by blowing a whistle or blowing his air horn. Even if users don't need to communicate with another boater it can still be handy to have some form of signaling device that can warn other boaters of the intentions, especially in dense, thicketed, or sandy conditions. Therefore, having the option of choosing from a variety of sound Signaling Devices available on the market is a smart, safe, and practical decision to make.

In addition to choosing between VLF (very low frequency) and SSR (supra-sonic range) signals, boaters should also consider the benefits of any audible signaling device they might want to use. Some devices use compressed air for their signals; others use a shock-absorbing spray-form gas for better results. Some Signaling Devices can use a combination of these three methods to provide a more reliable and audible signal. Compressed air and shock-absorbing gases are much more reliable than air horns without these three advantages. On the other hand, they are more costly and less convenient to use than spray-form gas.
