SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC
is a modular and flexible
MF/HF radio that can be
customized to your specific
needs for MF/HF
communication on workboats,
high seas fishing vessels and
merchant vessels of all kinds.
It offers simplex and semi-duplex SSB radiotelephony in the maritime mobile
frequency bands from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Services include voice
transmissions, watch function, DSC operations (Distress calls, position info,
Distress relay and more) and AM Broadcast. Optional are the 6-channel DSC
watch keeping receiver, AM Broadcast and telex.
The large display shows Rx and Tx frequencies and status, MMSI number,
position information, system and channel properties, including indicators for
transmission power and received signal strength. It is easy to read from
almost all angles and the display light can be adapted to dark environments.
Then red text is shown on a black background providing a good visibility even
at night while protecting your night vision.
DSC operations are made using the four soft keys next to the display. The
MF/HF 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. The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC has an Ethernet
interface to connect to other equipment for control, monitoring and printing.
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC is available as a basic MF radio that can be
upgraded with an HF DSC option and a telex option. Telexes are sent using the
SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal.
