Built for the Maritime Environment

Marine radios are essential for:

• Commercial fishing fleets coordinating daily operations and safety checks

• Charter and tourism vessels ensuring passenger safety and efficient logistics

• Marinas and port operators managing vessel traffic and dock operations

• Yacht and sailing crews needing reliable communication offshore

• Emergency response boats such as rescue and volunteer marine services

• Recreational boaters staying in touch with harbour authorities and other vessels

Key Features of Marine Radios

Our marine radios feature:

• Operation on the VHF marine band (156–174 MHz) for Australian maritime compliance

• Waterproof and submersible protection (IP67 or higher), keeping radios safe in wet, salty conditions

• Dedicated emergency channel 16 for distress calls

• Noise-cancelling microphones to cut through wind and engine noise

• Large, high-contrast displays for visibility in sunlight or low light

• Options for ATIS and DSC digital functions for enhanced safety and distress signalling

• Floating designs on select models to prevent loss if dropped overboard

These features ensure your communication equipment is reliable, durable, and ready for marine conditions.

Marine Compliance and Safety

In Australia, marine VHF radios fall under ACMA regulations and require appropriate licensing for transmitting on marine channels. We help ensure your radios:

• Meet Australian compliance requirements

• Are correctly programmed for local marine channels

• Include safety features suited to your vessel type and operations

Whether you’re upgrading a commercial vessel or fitting out your recreational boat, we’re here to keep you safe and compliant on the water.
