Garmin VHF 215i is a powerful and easy-to-use fixed-mount marine VHF radio that ensures reliable communication between you, the coast, and other vessels. With 25 W transmit power, built-in GPS, and DSC Class D, the radio is an essential safety feature on board – both for daily sailing and in emergencies.
The radio supports Digital Selective Calling (DSC) with distress calling and direct calling via user-programmed MMSI, which can be crucial for quick assistance should an accident occur. The large and easy-to-read display makes operation simple, even under demanding conditions.
Installation is straightforward thanks to plug-and-play via NMEA 2000®, which provides seamless integration with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays. The VHF 215i is also NMEA 0183 compatible, features a detachable hand microphone that can be placed away from the radio, and is compatible with the GHS™ 11i second station handset, allowing you to operate the radio from multiple positions on board.
The design is matched to Garmin's popular chartplotter series and provides a consistent, professional look at the helm.
