Garmin VHF 300i AIS DSC Marine Radio

Garmin VHF 300i AIS DSC Marine Radio Receiver combines radio communication and 1 or 25 W of Transmit Power with multi-station support to give you the flexibility and convenience you need to safely navigate and communicate on the open waters. The VHF300i AIS comes standard with a two-way hailer system and also is NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000® compliant to offer greater onboard functionality. In addition, the VHF 300i AIS takes advantage of Automatic Identification System technology to help you identify and avoid other large vessels at sea.

The VHF 300i AIS DSC is equipped with a two-way 30 W hailer system for communication with other boats or deckhands. In addition, the VHF300i has a patent-pending voicemail feature that lets you pre-record a 15 second message and deliver the message to any Digital Selective Calling radio. You’ll also have the ability to replay the last 90 seconds of any incoming voice transmission at the touch of a button.

With the VHF 300 AIS, you’ll get detailed data on your surroundings, regardless of visibility.
