The archived AM Wholesale catalogue put Icom radios, Iridium, KVH, Mazu, ACR and Iris night-vision cameras in the same building as the plotters. That pairing was correct. A beautiful MFD does not complete a fit-out if the radio is unlicensed, the EPIRB is unregistered, or the helm goes blind after civil twilight.
Start with VHF licences and DSC in Australia and EPIRB versus PLB under AMSA rules. Night running is covered in night vision and thermal cameras. Offshore and coastal crews arguing about antennas should read Iridium versus Starlink at sea. Trade buyers who still think in cartons rather than one-off retail can use the marine wholesale buying guide for dealers.
This hub sits beside navigation and radar and the editorial standards that keep safety copy from drifting into brochure language.
