Description
The Garmin VHF 215 is a fixed-mount marine VHF radio that keeps you in reliable contact with shore, other vessels and emergency services. Selectable 1 W and 25 W transmit power and standard Class D digital selective calling provide dependable communication and one-touch distress alerts once your MMSI is programmed, and the radio is preprogrammed with International, USA and Canada marine channels.
NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity allows DSC and position information to be shared with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays, so distress and location data can be exchanged across the helm. A built-in two-way hailer with foghorn extends communication around the boat, the removable fist microphone can be relocated with the optional kit, and the IPX7-rated housing suits console and open-helm installations.
