VHF radio
SAILOR 6248 VHF is
approved to R&TTE and is
waterproof to the IPx8 and
IPx6 standard. As part of the
required safety equipment,
use the SAILOR 6248 VHF 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 softkeys 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 or external speaker. The Ethernet interface enables the
VHF radio to be connected to ThraneLINK for service updates.
