1.2 The Simrad integrated system

The standard RS86 radiotelephone can support up to two sta-
tions with full intercom facility, geographical position input
via NMEA0183 and iDSC integration with Simrad chartplotters
which enables the plotters to display DSC call information.

With the addition of the expansion board, the system can sup-
port an additional two stations, two intercom speakers and for-
ward and aft foghorn/loudhailer speakers in addition to the
standard functions.

Additional stations can either be another RS86 fixed panel dis-
play or an RS87 full function telephone handset allowing great
flexibility in installations (Fig 1.2) -
