Simrad has further enhanced its navigation solution product range with two new high-specification VHF radios.
The fixed-mount RS10 and RS25 have each been designed to resist the harsh marine environment and feature easy-to-use Digital Select Calling (DSC) operation.
The RS10 and RS25 incorporate all the standard features expected from a VHF radio as well as a number of special features, including full GPS co-ordinates and time display (when connected to a GPS), channel naming and adjustable keypad backlighting for easy use in low-light conditions.
The RS10 has a large LCD screen with four-line static display, which means no bothersome scrolling of GPS position on the screen. The RS25, with its extra-large LCD, is the only VHF on the market that accommodates up to two optional wireless handsets using certified full-function Bluetooth 2.4Ghz. This provides intercom functionality anywhere in the boat up to 100m from the base.
The RS25 also has a digital barometer function and ‘happy fish’ fishing predictor that indicates the fishing conditions. Its barometric display has large easy-to-see 24-hour histogram graphics and digital weather forecasting.
Designed to exceed the stringent requirements of professional and recreational users around the world, Simrad’s new fixed-mount and handheld DSC-equipped VHF radios will be available before Christmas. RRP from AU$272 (RS10).
