COBRA VHF RADIO ENSURES BOATERS NEVER MISS A CALL
Loud music, wind or engine noise can prevent boaters from hearing a VHF radio call.
Cobra Marine, a division of Cobra Electronics, offers its MR F80B Fixed VHF radio with Rewind-Say-Again™, enabling users to record and play back up to 20 seconds of a missed call, possibly preventing problems.
It's also one of the official VHF radios of Sea Tow®.
A class-D DSC VHF radio, it sends a distress signal or exchanges position information with other boats or stations at the touch of a button.
Similar to the caller ID function on a telephone, this radio's DSC Call Log captures an incoming DSC caller's MMSI ID number and any other data included in a DSC message for future reference.
GPS and two-way NMEA compatible, the unit can send or receive position information to or from other boats or stations in an emergency when connected to any NMEA compatible GPS receiver.
It can even send the position information of other vessels, for an incoming emergency DSC call, to most chartplotters and most multifunction displays on the market.
With 10 NOAA Weather Channels, the MR F80B provides instant access to national All Hazards and weather information 24 hours a day.
Weather Alerts with S.A.M.E. enable boaters to receive audible and visual alerts when threatening weather is nearby, filtering out warnings from further away.
A noise-canceling microphone with controls blocks background noise and offers buttons for instant access to channels 16 and 9, as well as the ability to change channels and operate 90% of the radio's functions.
For ease of use, the radio's LCD display and function keys are illuminated.
A rotary channel knob conveniently changes channels from the main display.
The MR F80B is able to monitor three channels at once and can scan the channels programmed in memory, as many as one would like, to find conversations in progress.
Meeting JIS7 standards, this submersible radio carries a three-year warranty.
The MR F80B Fixed Mount VHF Radio with Rewind-Say-Again™ from Cobra Marine is available in black and priced at $189.95.
It comes with flush- and surface-mount kits, a GPS interface cable and a speaker/PA interface cable.
