Simrad RS20S Marine VHF Radio With DCS

Experience clear visibility even in bright daylight with the Simrad RS20S Marine VHF Radio With DCS. Its high contrast black-on-white display ensures easy readability, while the inverted white-on-black night mode enhances visibility during darker hours. With a rotary dial for channel selection and large buttons for quick access to key functions, operating this radio is a breeze. The dedicated Channel 16 keys, available on both the radio and its fist microphone, provide instant access to the emergency channel. Whether you prefer table-top, overhead, bulkhead, or flush-mount installation, the included gimbal bracket and easy mount-from-front solution make it effortless to set up the RS20S to match the low-profile style of your glass bridge displays and accessories.

Class D DSC Approved

Stay connected with other boaters and ensure your safety with the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) feature of the RS20S. In case of an emergency, simply press the dedicated "distress" button to initiate a DSC distress call, transmitting your boat's position to anyone within VHF range. By combining this with a traditional radio distress call, you can effectively communicate your situation to other boaters equipped with DSC-capable radios, increasing the chances of receiving timely assistance. Even if your boat's other electronics are powered down, the integrated GPS receiver in the RS20S ensures that your position can still be sent.

Easy Access to All International Channels

Designed for global use, the RS20S supports all international channels, providing easy access to communication no matter where you are. With the tri-channel watch feature, you can easily scan between the current channel, emergency channel 16, and a user-configurable priority channel (in the USA, also includes calling channel 9). Alternatively, you can scan through all available channels or focus on your selected favorites. To prioritize safety, emergency channels can be given higher priority during scanning, reducing the chances of missing distress calls or other urgent safety messages.
