VHF radio range extended for workboats
Thrane & Thrane has expanded its established workboat and fishing vessel VHF radio portfolio with the launch of the new SAILOR 6217 VHF DSC Class D AIS Receiver.
The new system brings parallel dual channel VHF receive functionality to its line of VHF DSC Class D radios, making it an outstanding safety and communication tool for workers and fishermen in any conditions.
Building on the SAILOR 6215 VHF DSC Class D, the SAILOR 6217 VHF DSC Class D AIS Receiver integrates a two channel parallel AIS Receiver, which enables it to perform a constant watch of both AIS channels, rather than switching between them. This provides greater safety through better situational awareness, because users get a seamlessly updated view of AIS equipped vessels in the surrounding area at all times.
The SAILOR 6217 VHF DSC Class D AIS Receiver can be easily connected to any NMEA 0183 chart plotter so all signals can be viewed and plotted on a vessel’s existing equipment.
Technical features:
• Full waterproof to IPx8
• SAILOR Replay – listen to the previous 90 seconds of messages
• Easy to read display with red backlight and dimming
• High quality, powerful loudspeaker
• Up to 2 additional handsets/control speaker mics connected front or back
• Interfaces for AIS output and optional loud hailer
• DW, Tri-watch and scanning
