The SAILOR 6222 VHF is developed and designed to meet the tough requirements of
professional mariners operating in a wide variety of vessels, from open workboats and high
seas fishing vessels, through to all kinds of merchant ships.

easy to use, highly ruggedized VHF, which will become the daily means of communication
between the vessel and other vessels, and coastal VHFs.
