GMDSS Marine VHF Radiophone with DSC

The product is a high-performance 25 W or 1 W marine VHF radiotelephone with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) facilities. Compact, stylish and waterproof, this unit is ideal for the panel or tabletop installation in the cockpit or on the open fly bridge. This marine radio employs a large channel selector and knobs for volume and squelch adjustments for easy operation. The selected channel is displayed with large and bold number on a bright LCD. Connected with an appropriate GPS receiver, the ship’s position and time (UTC and local) can be displayed. This feature ensures the transmission of your location in an emergency or when you are attempting to connect a fellow vessel.

The DSC uses a digital signal like MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) and working frequencies to send and receive specific information, so that a call is addressed to a designated user or group that has DSC facilities. In an emergency, you can transmit the distress alert by simply pressing the dedicated distress button. The distress alert is acknowledged by coastal stations or ship's equipped with DSC capability.
