toR&TTE and is waterproof to
the IPx8 and IPx6 standard.
As part of the safety
equipment, use the SAILOR
6210 VHF in an emergency
situation. However the best
way to guarantee
functionality in an emergency
situation, is to use the radio
in daily communication on
board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio. It is designed with an easy-
to-use menu-driven setup. You use the soft-keys to enter the desired
functions, you browse and select a setting using the right selection wheel
knob. The large display has red adjustable backlight which provides a good
visibility even at night and protects your night vision.
The VHF radio can replay the last 90 s of received voice. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the
radio is unattended.
The VHF radio connects easily to external equipment like a 2-way loudhailer
and an external speaker. You can use the loudhailer as a 2-way on-board
communicator. The loudhailer also functions as a fog horn. You can select
from several programmed fog-horn patterns.
