VHF Radio Replacement

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

mphem,

Communications between the MFD and a VHF radio are fairly limited
- the MFD sends GPS data to the VHF radio and
- the VHF radio sends DSC position reports to the MFD to support automatically plotting positions associated with these reports.

As the vessel is already fitted with a VHF radio, assistance in deciding among Raymarine VHF radios may be provided after receiving answers to the following questions:
- is remote station VHF capability required (ex. at helm and nav station, flybridge and cabin helm, etc.)
- is loud hailer capability desired
- is a modular design desired ... within a modular design, the receiver/transceiver circuitry is installed out of sight, leaving only handsets visible at the locations where the VHF radio will be used
