The two new RT950 and RT950 AIS radios combine technological innovation, ease of installation and maximum safety for both recreational boaters and maritime professionals alike, with an ultra-compact 156 x 61 mm format, allowing for seamless integration into any space, whether flush-mounted or on a bracket. These VHF radios feature a built-in GPS antenna, adjustable power output (1/25 W), an LCD screen designed for optimal readability (even in direct sunlight), IPX7 waterproofing on the front panel, ATIS/DSC (automated emergency calls) functions, and NMEA compatibility.

The RT950 AIS, as its name suggests, is equipped with an integrated AIS receiver: it detects surrounding vessels and triggers automatic CPA/TCPA alerts in the event of a collision risk. Its MOB AIS compatibility (EPIRB and Sart AIS) ensures increased safety in the event of distress at sea.

RT950 retail price: € 299.00 inc. tax
RT950 AIS retail price: € 489.00 inc. tax
