Making sure your communication needs are met
Building on extensive experience in multi station VHF radios, the Simrad RS Series is the most advanced VHF solution available for yachts, meaning you can rely on it to work when you most need it. With four options to choose from, there is an RS system available for boats of all size and type. You won't find a VHF solution as flexible as the RS Series. You want to add multiple stations? No problem just plug and play. You want reliability and high build quality but don't need DSC? No problem, just choose the RS81. The options are numerous so you can get the exact solution you want. The RS Series is based on 'Black box transceiver' technology. The transceiver can be placed anywhere on board and connected to the control unit or handset via simple to install extension cables. Forming the backbone of the flexibility inherent in the RS Series, the black box transceiver also ensures that you can save space and place the radio exactly where you need it. RS86/87
Handset or control panel operated The flexible full class D DSC RS86 and RS87 radios cover a wide spectrum of VHF requirements from small yachts and powerboats up to super yachts. With either a fixed control panel, as the RS86, or with a hand controller as the RS87, both systems share the same transceiver box and have the capability of connecting an additional handset as well as an iDSC output, which allows RS86/RS87 radio to be linked to any Simrad NavStation or chartplotter series. Once connected, DSC information can be displayed directly on the chartplotter screen. For ease of use the RS86 control panel offers large control knobs for channel change, volume and squelch together with a built in large diameter loudspeaker. An easy to read backlit keyboard provides quick access to the range of functions. The RS86 has an optional telephone handset or speaker microphone. The RS87 uses a keypad operated telephone handset to provide simple menu driven control of all functions. A large backlit LCD display shows the operation selected, as well as status and channel selection. An external loudspeaker is supplied with the RS87, individually controlled by the handset. - Full Class D DSC for easy use and safety functionality
