Detailed description

Designed to extend the communication capabilities of your fixed VHF installation, the Raymarine Ray 63/73 wireless primary station pack (reference T70469) provides increased flexibility on board. This system turns your Raymarine Ray63 or Ray73 VHF radio into a complete wireless communication station, allowing freedom of movement while remaining connected.

Features and positioning

The T70469 pack is positioned as an essential complement for boat owners equipped with a Raymarine fixed VHF from the Ray63 or Ray73 ranges. Unlike a standard VHF installation that limits communication to the main console, this pack introduces the ability to communicate from any point on the vessel. It stands out from standalone portable VHF handsets by its full integration with the primary station, offering the transmission power of the latter and centralized call management. While a portable VHF handset (standalone unit) or the Ray260 (although the Ray260 is a fixed station) provides an autonomous solution, the T70469 optimizes the use of an existing VHF by adding a wireless dimension.

Raymarine T70469 pack contents

This pack includes a wireless handset, a dedicated access point, and an active speaker. The wireless handset allows managing calls and accessing VHF functions remotely. The access point ensures connectivity between the handset and the Ray63/73 station. The active speaker provides clear and powerful audio output, essential for effective listening of communications, especially in noisy marine environments. The system aims to improve the ergonomics and safety of onboard communications, ensuring the operator can always be in contact with the outside world, regardless of their position on the boat.

« Raymarine wireless extension for Ray63/73 VHF: increased flexibility and safety »

This Raymarine primary wireless station pack is a strategic upgrade for owners of Ray63 and Ray73 VHF radios. Its main benefit lies in the ability to relocate VHF communication functions from the fixed unit to a portable handset. This provides significant freedom of movement, allowing the crew to talk or listen to VHF channels from the deck, cabin, or aft deck without being tied to the main unit's position. For medium to large vessels, or for active crews, this flexibility is a major advantage, especially for harbour manoeuvres or emergency situations requiring immediate communication from outside the helm position.

Installation involves connecting the access point and active speaker to the main Ray63/73 VHF unit. The access point requires power and a connection to the VHF, typically via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 for advanced features, though the core wireless communication operates autonomously. The active speaker significantly improves communication intelligibility, a frequently overlooked but critical factor in noisy marine environments. This system is particularly relevant for those seeking an integrated and high-performance solution, avoiding the need for multiple separate portable devices with their constraints of limited battery life or reduced transmit power.

Note that the range of the wireless handset will depend on the boat's environment (materials, metallic structures). For optimal performance, the access point should be positioned to minimize obstacles. This pack does not replace a fixed VHF but optimizes its use by providing functional redundancy and improved ergonomics. It is a relevant upgrade to maximize the investment in an existing Raymarine VHF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What are the main advantages of using this wireless pack for my VHF?

This wireless pack provides increased flexibility and safety on board. It allows you to communicate and access the functions of your Raymarine Ray63 or Ray73 VHF radio from any point on the vessel, without being confined to the main console. This improves responsiveness in emergencies and the convenience of daily communications.

Does the system support intercom between handsets?

Yes, the system supports intercom. You can communicate directly between the Ray63 or Ray73 VHF main handset and the connected wireless handsets, as well as between the wireless handsets themselves, facilitating onboard communication.

Which Raymarine VHF radios is this T70469 pack compatible with?

The T70469 wireless primary station pack is specifically designed to be compatible with Raymarine fixed VHF radios in the Ray63 and Ray73 series. It will not work with other Raymarine VHF models or brands.

Is the T70469 pack compatible with older Raymarine VHF models?

No, this pack is only compatible with Raymarine Ray63 and Ray73 models. It is not designed to work with earlier generations of Raymarine VHF radios.

Can this pack be used with VHF radios from other brands than Raymarine?

No, the T70469 pack is a proprietary Raymarine accessory designed to integrate only with Raymarine Ray63 and Ray73 VHF radios. It is not compatible with VHF radios from other manufacturers.

Is the system compatible with the NMEA 2000 protocol?

Yes, the system uses the SeaTalkng network, which is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol. The wireless access point connects directly to an NMEA 2000 backbone (via a SeaTalkng to NMEA 2000 adapter if required) for power and data transmission.

What are the power supply requirements for this pack?

The entire system (access point and active speaker) operates on a 12V DC power supply. The wireless access point is typically powered via the boat's SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 network, and the active speaker requires a direct connection to the 12V DC power supply.

How to connect the wireless access point to my Ray63 or Ray73 VHF radio?

The wireless access point (A80573) connects to your Ray63 or Ray73 VHF radio via your boat's SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 network. Simply plug it into an available port on the SeaTalkng backbone using the supplied cable or a standard SeaTalkng cable.

Where is it recommended to install the wireless access point?

The wireless access point should be installed in a clear area, away from major metal obstructions, and ideally above deck or in a non-metallic enclosure to optimize wireless signal range and quality. It must remain easily accessible for wiring.

How is the wireless handset recharged?

The Raymarine A80572 wireless handset is recharged by placing it in its dedicated charging cradle. This charging cradle is typically powered by the boat's 12V DC electrical system and can be mounted in a convenient location aboard.

Can the active speaker be installed outside the boat?

Yes, the Raymarine A80574 active speaker is designed for marine environments and is rated IPX7, making it water-resistant. It can therefore be installed in exposed areas on deck, although it is still preferable to choose a slightly sheltered location if possible to extend its lifespan.
