1.1 VHF radio with DSC Class A
SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC, your new VHF radio
with full DSC functionality, is approved to MED,
FCC and Industry Canada
and is waterproof to
the IPx8 and IPx6 standard. As part of the
required safety equipment, use the SAILOR
6222 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 and the keypad to enter the desired
functions, you browse and select a setting using the right selection knob. The large
display can be customized for optimum readability and visibility both day and night
with several color themes.
The VHF radio can replay the last 240 s of received voice messages. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the radio is
unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external equipment
like additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control speaker microphone,
alarm panel or external speaker. The Ethernet interface enables the VHF radio to be
connected to ThraneLINK for service updates.
