Fixed VHF marine radios are crucial communication tools utilised by seafarers and maritime professionals. They assist ships in communicating with each other, coastguard, and lifeboat stations near the shore.

Fixed VHF radios generally offer a wider broadcast range than handheld vhf radio models. This is thanks to their external antennas, which are typically mounted on a mast or coach roof. This elevated position and larger antenna size help extend the radio’s reach.

Most of the fixed mount VHF radios we offer come with a vital feature known as Digital Selective Calling (DSC). Its main function is to send distress signals to both other ships and shore systems. It automatically transmits information about the ship's identity. If you connect your VHF to an onboard GPS, it will also transmit location information.

Manufacturers have designed boat radios to withstand the harsh conditions of a marine environment. They are usually waterproof or water-resistant. They also have a strong construction able to withstand exposure to water, salt, and tough conditions.
