Garmin VHF 215 AIS Marine Radio

Garmin VHF 215 AIS Marine Radio

With Built-in GPS and AIS, Hailer, and Optional Second Station

Communication and situational awareness are critical on the water. This fixed-mount VHF 215 AIS radio displays AIS on the chartplotter to enhance communication, situational awareness and collision avoidance between you and other mariners worldwide.

During an emergency situation, the 25-watt transmit power of VHF 215 AIS gives fishermen, sailors and cruisers confidence at their fingertips.

Easy to install and use, just plug and play to compatible Garmin chartplotters and MFDs via the NMEA 2000 network. VHF 215 AIS provides standard Class D DSC functionality (distress calling and direct calling with user-programmed MMSI). The radio includes frequency bands for all U.S., Canadian and international marine channels and 10 NOAA weather channels. It's also NMEA 0183 compatible and includes a two-way hailer system for onboard communication.
