Description

The Garmin VHF 115i is a compact, fixed-mount marine VHF radio built for everyday communication and emergency readiness. Selectable 1 W and 25 W transmit power keeps you in contact with shore stations, other vessels and the coastguard, while Class D digital selective calling allows one-touch distress alerts and direct calling once your MMSI is programmed. The radio comes pre-loaded with International, USA and Canada marine channels along with the ten NOAA weather channels. Designed to match Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays, the VHF 115i connects through NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 so position data and DSC information can be shared across your helm. A built-in 20 W hailer with foghorn and listen-back extends communication around the boat and dockside, and the unit supports the optional GHS 11 wired handset for a second station. The IPX7-rated housing and removable fist microphone suit open-helm and console installations.

What is the transmit power of the VHF 115i?
The VHF 115i transmits at a selectable 1 W or 25 W, allowing you to choose lower power for nearby communication or full power to reach distant stations and the coastguard.
Does the VHF 115i transmit AIS?
No. The VHF 115i is a Class D DSC marine radio and does not include AIS. If you need AIS reception built into the radio, the VHF 215i AIS adds an AIS receiver.
Which marine channels does it support?
The radio is pre-loaded with International, USA and Canada marine channels plus the 10 NOAA weather channels.
Can I connect the VHF 115i to a chartplotter?
Yes. The radio supports both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, so it can share GPS position and DSC information with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays.
Is the VHF 115i waterproof?
The radio carries an IEC 60529 IPX7 rating, meaning it withstands incidental immersion in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes.
