B&G V100 VHF System

Enhance Your On-Water Safety with Seamless Communication

Navigating challenging waters demands reliable communication that keeps you connected, no matter where you are on board. The B&G V100 blackbox VHF system steps up as your ultimate marine companion, blending cutting-edge Class D DSC technology with flexible expandability. Picture this: you're out on a long sail, coordinating with crew across the deck or hailing nearby vessels effortlessly. With built-in GPS and support for multiple handsets, this system turns your boat into a fully wired communication hub, ensuring every voice is heard clearly amid the waves.

Unlike traditional fixed-mount radios, the V100's modular design lets you customize for your vessel's needs—perfect for sailors, powerboaters, or fishing enthusiasts who value precision and peace of mind. Its intuitive controls and crystal-clear audio cut through engine noise and wind, while smart features like 60-second audio rewind mean you never miss a critical transmission.

Modular Design for Ultimate Flexibility

Start with the core NRS-1 blackbox module, a wired H100 handset, and SP100 speaker, then scale up as your adventures grow. Connect up to four wired H100 handsets and four wireless H60 units, each with inductive charging and a vibrant, sunlight-readable display. Name each station for quick identification, and group backlights with your MFDs via NMEA 2000 for unified control—dimming everything at once as night falls.

External speakers? Add up to four with individual volume offsets, tailoring audio zones from the helm to the cabin. Craving more? An optional loudhailer turns it into a powerful foghorn or intercom, broadcasting commands across the water at 25W.

• Wireless Freedom: H60 handsets roam the boat, duplicating full radio functions without cables cluttering your space.
• Intercom Mode: Transform handsets into an onboard phone system for crew coordination.
• Favorites & Scan: Program priority channels and scan favorites or all bands with dual/tri-watch for vigilant monitoring.

Advanced Safety Features That Deliver in Critical Moments

Safety isn't just a feature—it's the foundation. Integrated GPS enables position polling, group calls, and automatic distress signaling with your programmable MMSI. Track up to five buddies via their MMSI numbers, keeping tabs on friends during regattas or group outings. Call logs store 20 individual and 10 distress entries, while a 50-vessel contact directory simplifies hailing regulars.

NMEA 0183 and 2000 connectivity integrates seamlessly with your chartplotter, autopilot, or instruments—sharing GPS data, MOB alarms, and AIS targets. Software updates over NMEA 2000 keep it future-proof, adapting to evolving marine standards without hassle.

"In rough seas, the last thing you need is fumbling with controls. The V100's alphanumeric keypad and large screen make quick work of any operation."

Built Tough for Marine Demands

Rated IPx5 waterproof, the V100 thrives in spray and splashes. Operating from -20°C to +55°C, it handles extreme conditions from arctic cruises to tropical charters. Low battery alerts at 10.5V and overvoltage protection up to 15.8V safeguard reliability. Compact at 1.46kg, the blackbox fits neatly out of sight, with SO-239 VHF antenna, SMA GPS, and RP-SMA wireless ports for straightforward installs.

Transmitter power switches between 25W high and 1W low for range or courtesy, with PLL stability and dual-channel 70 DSC receiver ensuring rock-solid performance across international, US, Canada, or weather channels.

Real-World Applications for Boaters

For competitive sailors, Track Buddy and position polling maintain fleet awareness. Weekend warriors appreciate the intercom for family chats below deck. Commercial operators rely on ATIS for inland waterways. No matter your pursuit, the V100 elevates communication, reducing stress and boosting situational awareness.
