Wireless Handset Adapter Cable

Enhance your marine communication setup with the Raymarine R70739 Wireless Handset Adapter Cable, a compact and reliable accessory designed specifically for seamless integration. Measuring just 220mm (about 0.72 feet), this cable bridges the gap between your Ray63 or Ray73 VHF radio and a wireless handset hub, giving you the freedom to communicate from anywhere on deck without being tethered by bulky wires.

Why This Adapter Cable Makes a Difference on the Water

Boaters know that staying connected during critical moments—whether coordinating with crew, issuing a mayday, or chatting with nearby vessels—can be a lifesaver. Traditional wired handsets limit your movement, but pairing your Ray63 or Ray73 with a wireless handset via this adapter changes the game. It supports crystal-clear VHF transmissions while keeping your cockpit clutter-free. Imagine helming through choppy seas or managing lines at the dock, all while handling radio duties hands-free from up to 30 meters away, depending on your wireless setup.

Key Benefits for Raymarine VHF Users

• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No complex configurations—just connect the hub and start using your wireless handset for enhanced mobility.
• Compact Design: At 220mm, it fits neatly behind your VHF unit, saving valuable space in tight console areas.
• Rugged Marine Build: Engineered to withstand saltwater exposure, humidity, and vibrations common in boating environments.
• Boosted Productivity: Move freely between helm, bow, and stern without signal drop-offs, ideal for solo sailors or larger crews.
• Future-Proof Compatibility: Perfect match for Raymarine's ecosystem, ensuring reliable performance with your existing gear.

Real-World Applications for Everyday Boaters

Whether you're fishing offshore, cruising coastal waters, or racing in regattas, this adapter unlocks the full potential of your Ray63 or Ray73. For fishing enthusiasts, it means calling in coordinates without leaving the rod. Sailors appreciate the ability to relay tacking signals from the rail. Even recreational skippers benefit during family outings, keeping everyone safe and informed without hassle. It's not just a cable—it's a step toward smarter, safer boating.

Installation Tips for Smooth Setup

Setting it up is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic marine electronics. Power down your VHF, locate the handset port on the rear panel of your Ray63 or Ray73, and secure the adapter firmly. Route the short cable to your wireless hub placement, ensuring it's away from high-heat sources like engines. Test the connection with a quick channel scan to confirm range and audio quality. Pro tip: Secure it with cable ties to prevent snags, and always double-check connections before heading out to avoid any surprises mid-voyage.

Care and Maintenance for Longevity

To keep your adapter performing season after season, rinse it with fresh water after saltwater exposure, dry thoroughly, and inspect for wear during routine VHF checks. Store spares in a dry locker for quick swaps. This level of care ensures uninterrupted comms when you need them most.
