215I VHF Radio With GPS - Black

A versatile VHF communication device with an integrated AIS Class A and B receiver. Designed with a modern aesthetic inspired by Garmin's renowned product lines, such as the GPSMAP 722, 1022, or the 7400/8400 series, this compact and waterproof device ensures reliable communication during emergencies.

Equipped with a DSC Class D system, activating an emergency call is as simple as pressing a single button.

The VHF radio comes pre-programmed with international channels and offers the flexibility to transmit with an RF power of 1 or 25W, enabling you to adjust the transmission range as needed. The unit and the microphone feature dedicated keys for quick access to the emergency channel 16, ensuring ease of use in critical situations.

With data interfaces such as NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, the VHF radio seamlessly shares necessary data, including GPS information and alarms, with other compatible marine electronics.

Operating on a 12 Vdc power supply with a consumption of 2A (6A during transmission), this VHF radio is efficient and reliable. It meets the IPX7 rating for water resistance, providing peace of mind in challenging marine environments.

The package includes a removable microphone, power cord, mounting bracket, protective cover, recessed installation kit, microphone stand, and documentation. With these components, you have everything necessary to conveniently install and operate the VHF radio.
