Description

The Ray90 is Raymarine's modular black-box VHF system, supplied here as a complete kit with a wired handset and passive speaker. The base station hides away out of sight and drives up to two wired handsets via its HS1 and HS2 connectors, plus a wireless hub for cordless handsets, making it ideal for multi-station vessels.

It transmits Class D DSC at a selectable 1W or 25W across all US, International and Canadian VHF marine bands, with a 25W / 12W loud hailer output and fog-horn function. A passive GPS antenna connects via the TNC port (external antenna required), and the VHF antenna or passive splitter connects via the SO239. Networking is via NMEA 2000 / SeaTalk NG (LEN 1), with NMEA 0183 input and output on the data cable. Built to IPX6 and IPX7, the Ray90 is engineered for demanding installations. The base station, passive speaker, wired handset and full mounting hardware are all included.

No. The Ray90 does not include an AIS receiver. The Ray91 is the equivalent black-box system that adds a built-in AIS receiver.
How many handsets can the Ray90 support?
The Ray90 base station drives up to two wired handsets (via the HS1 and HS2 connectors) plus a wireless hub for cordless wireless handsets.
Does the Ray90 have a loud hailer?
Yes. The Ray90 provides a loud hailer output of 25 W (4 Ohm) / 12 W (8 Ohm) and a fog-horn function, wired via the data cable.
Does the Ray90 need an external GPS antenna?
Yes. The Ray90 base station requires an external passive GNSS (GPS) antenna, connected via the TNC port. Raymarine's passive GPS antenna A80288 is available as an accessory.
