Simrad RS100 VHF Black Box Radio w/Handset & Speaker Product Description
Simrad RS100 VHF Black Box Radio with Handset & Speaker
Professional-grade modular VHF radio system with integrated GPS and Class D DSC capability - expandable to eight handsets and four speakers for vessel-wide communication.
The Simrad RS100 represents the pinnacle of marine VHF radio technology, combining black box reliability with modular expandability to meet the communication demands of any vessel size. This Class D DSC-approved system comes with integrated GPS positioning and supports both emergency communications and everyday ship-to-ship operations with crystal-clear audio quality.
Modular System Architecture
Unlike traditional fixed VHF radios, the RS100's modular design allows you to customize your communication system to match your vessel's specific needs. The standard package includes one HS100 wired handset and one external speaker, but the system expands to accommodate up to eight handsets (four wired HS100 units and four wireless HS40 units) plus four external speakers with configurable volume offsetting.
Advanced DSC and GPS Integration
Built-in GPS receiver enables automatic position reporting during DSC distress calls, while the Track Buddy feature lets you monitor up to five other vessels using their VHF MMSI numbers. The system supports direct calling to other DSC-equipped radios and provides dual-channel watch capability (tri-channel in USA) to monitor your working channel and emergency Channel 16 simultaneously.
