Detailed description

The Raymic A80289 remote control unit from Raymarine is an accessory designed to extend the communication capabilities of Raymarine Ray60, Ray70, and Ray90 VHF radios. It provides full remote control of the main VHF station, allowing users to manage communication and safety functions from a second location aboard the vessel.

Integration and functionality

This remote control unit replicates the user interface of the main VHF, offering intuitive access to channels, Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions, and audio settings. Its seamless integration with Raymarine Ray60, Ray70, and Ray90 models makes it a solution for vessels requiring versatile communication from the cockpit, helm, or additional cabin.

Positioning within the Raymarine range

The Raymic A80289 is positioned as a complement to Raymarine Ray series VHF radios, offering increased flexibility compared to single-function installations. It aligns with Raymarine’s strategy of providing modular solutions, enabling boaters to configure their communication system according to specific needs. While modular VHF systems exist from other manufacturers, the Raymic remote control is specifically designed for the Raymarine ecosystem, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance with Ray60, Ray70, and Ray90 units.

Expert opinion

« VHF communication optimization with remote station »

The Raymic A80289 combined unit is a strategic solution for vessels equipped with a Raymarine Ray60, Ray70, or Ray90 VHF radio requiring a secondary communication station. This is not merely an audio extension but a full replication of the main interface, enabling secure and efficient management of communications from an additional control point. This capability is particularly relevant for sailboats where the main VHF is often installed at the chart table, while cockpit control is essential for safety and maneuvering. For powerboats, it provides functional redundancy between the helm and the flybridge.

Installation involves dedicated cabling between the main VHF and the combined unit, requiring rigorous planning for cable routing and ergonomic positioning of the mount. While this is a specific accessory, its addition significantly enhances the usability of the installed VHF. It is important to note that this combined unit is compatible only with Ray60, Ray70, and Ray90 models; it cannot be used as a standalone unit or with other Raymarine VHF models or competing brands. Its selection is dictated by the need for a complete secondary station where a simple speaker extension would be insufficient.
