VHF 210 AIS Marine Radio
010-01654-00
The Garmin VHF 210 AIS is a fixed-mount marine radio with a built-in AIS receiver. It transmits at 25 W with Class D DSC, connects over NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, and includes a two-way hailer with foghorn.
Description
The Garmin VHF 210 AIS is a fixed-mount marine VHF radio with an integrated AIS receiver, displaying nearby AIS-equipped vessels on a connected Garmin chartplotter to improve communication, situational awareness and collision avoidance. Selectable 1 W and 25 W transmit power and standard Class D digital selective calling provide reliable communication and one-touch distress alerts once your MMSI is programmed. The radio supports International, USA and Canada marine channels.
Built for easy installation, the VHF 210 AIS connects over NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 so AIS, GPS and DSC information can be shared with compatible chartplotters and multifunction displays. A built-in two-way hailer with foghorn extends communication around the boat, and the removable fist microphone can be relocated away from the radio with the optional kit. The IPX7-rated housing suits console and open-helm installations.

Does the VHF 210 AIS transmit AIS or only receive?
The VHF 210 AIS has a built-in AIS receiver. It displays nearby AIS-equipped vessels on a connected chartplotter but does not transmit your own AIS position. A dedicated AIS transceiver such as the AIS 800 is required to transmit your position.
What is the transmit power and DSC class?
The radio transmits at a selectable 1 W or 25 W and provides standard Class D DSC for distress and direct calling once your MMSI is programmed.
How does it connect to a chartplotter?
The radio connects over NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, allowing it to share AIS, GPS and DSC information with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays.
Can the microphone be relocated?
Yes. The fist microphone is removable and can be relocated away from the radio with the optional relocation kit, and the radio supports an additional microphone.
Is the radio waterproof?
The radio carries an IEC 60529 IPX7 rating, meaning it withstands incidental immersion in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes.
