Yes, the Simrad RS20S radio is equipped with an NMEA 0183 port. It can receive GPS data (RMC, GGA, GLL, GNS sentences) and send DSC (DSC calls) and DSE (advanced position information) data to other compatible navigation systems.

The dimensions of the Simrad RS20S radio are 166.7 mm (width) x 89.2 mm (height) x 161.4 mm (depth), excluding the mounting bracket.

The Simrad RS20S radio operates on a 12 V DC battery system. The nominal operating voltage is +13.6 V DC. It features a low-battery alert at 10.5 V DC +/- 0.5 V and overvoltage protection beyond 15.8 V DC +/- 0.5 V.

Yes, for EU-destined models, the ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) function must be enabled when using the radio on European inland waterways, in compliance with applicable regulations.

There are two mounting options for the Simrad RS20S radio:

Bracket mounting: Allows installation on a flat surface. Flush mounting: Requires a flush-mount kit (sold separately or included depending on the package) for a more discreet integration into the dashboard.

The weight of the Simrad RS20S radio is 1.18 kg.

The safe compass distance for the Simrad RS20S radio is 0.5 metres (1.5 feet) to avoid any magnetic deviation of the compass.

The Simrad RS20S radio is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F).

The Simrad RS20S radio supports various call types, including:
