VHF radio with DSC
SAILOR 6215 VHF DSC, your
new SAILOR VHF radio with
full DSC functionality, is
approved to R&TTE and is
waterproof to the IPx8 and
IPx6 standard. As part of the
required safety equipment,
use the SAILOR 6215 VHF DSC
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.
