Description
The Garmin VHF 215i is a full-featured fixed-mount marine VHF radio with built-in GPS, so it can support DSC position reporting without a separate antenna. Selectable 1 W and 25 W transmit power covers everything from close-range chatter to long-range calls to shore and the coastguard, and Class D digital selective calling delivers one-touch distress alerts once your MMSI is programmed. The radio carries International, USA and Canada marine channels plus the ten NOAA weather channels.
The VHF 215i integrates with the helm through NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, sharing GPS and DSC data with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays. A built-in 20 W hailer with foghorn and listen-back extends communication around the vessel, while the removable fist microphone can be relocated and the radio supports the optional GHS 11 wired handset as a second station. The IPX7-rated housing is styled to match Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters and MFDs.
