Description
The Lowrance Link-6S is a compact fixed-mount DSC VHF radio for helms where space is at a premium. Its slimline chassis slots into smaller dashboards and tighter installations, yet it keeps full DSC calling and a built-in GPS receiver so it can place distress and routine calls on its own, without depending on another instrument for position.
A removable four-key hand microphone and clear menu interface make day-to-day use easy, and an external speaker output helps the radio be heard in a noisy cockpit. Where the radio sits behind glass or under a hardtop, the GPS antenna SMA port accepts an optional external antenna for a stronger fix.
Over its NMEA 0183 port the Link-6S can share position and DSC data with a connected Lowrance chartplotter such as an HDS, Elite FS or Hook, tying the radio into the rest of the helm. It can be gimbal-bracket or flush mounted, with a flush mount kit supplied.
