Raymarine Ray90 Modular Dual-Station VHF Black Box Radio System Product Description
Discover the ultimate in marine communication with the Raymarine Ray90, a modular black box VHF radio designed for boaters who demand reliability, power, and versatility on the water. Whether you're cruising coastal waters, heading offshore, or managing a fleet, this fixed-mount system delivers crystal-clear audio and advanced safety features without cluttering your helm. Its sleek transceiver hides away, leaving only the intuitive RayMic handset and speaker for effortless control—perfect for multi-station setups on larger vessels.
Powerhouse Performance for Demanding Conditions
At the heart of the Ray90 beats a robust 25-watt transmitter paired with commercial-grade electronics built to endure harsh marine environments. Expect long-range transmission, minimal interference, and features like channel scanning, dual/tri-watch, and weather alerts that keep you one step ahead. The Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) integrates seamlessly with GPS, enabling quick distress calls and position sharing—just enter your MMSI once, and safety protocols activate instantly. Pair it with the optional GA150 GPS antenna for full positioning capabilities, ensuring you're always connected and aware.
Advanced Safety and Convenience Features
- Position Tracking: Monitor up to five nearby DSC-equipped vessels, with their locations automatically overlaid on your Raymarine multifunction display (MFD). Ideal for staying in touch with buddies on group outings or keeping tabs on nearby traffic.
- Built-in Loudhailer & Fog Horn: Command attention across the harbor with 30-watt output and two-way talkback via an optional hailing horn. In low visibility, it auto-sounds fog signals for vessels underway, at anchor, or sailing—compliance made simple.
- Multi-Station Flexibility: Starts with one wired RayMic handset and passive speaker; expand to two stations for flybridge-to-cabin coordination. Wireless options available for even greater freedom.
- Network Ready: Plug-and-play NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 compatibility shares data with chartplotters, radars, and more, turning your Ray90 into a smart hub for your electronics suite.
Engineered for toughness, the aluminum-cast transceiver shrugs off shocks, vibrations, and heat, while IPX6/IPX7-rated handsets feature bright backlighting and glove-friendly keys. Operate confidently from -25°C to +55°C, with humidity resistance up to 95%—proven performance in rain, fog, or blazing sun.
Seamless Integration and Expansion
Installing the Ray90 is straightforward for DIY boaters or pros: mount the compact transceiver (2.48" H x 9.25" W x 6.3" D) out of sight, connect power/data cables, and position your handset(s). It thrives on 12V DC (9-16V range), drawing under 6A at full power. Common setups link to existing antennas, speakers, and MFDs via standard ports. For fleets or yachts, the intercom function between stations enhances onboard coordination without extra radios.
