LINK-6S raadio VHF merenduses ASN-ga

The Lowrance LINK-6S marine VHF radio is designed for reliable communication at sea. It is an essential communication device for recreational boaters, providing basic safety functions via its Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system and built-in GPS.

Yes, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio integrates a GPS operating at a frequency of 1575.42 MHz. This GPS provides horizontal accuracy of less than 10 meters, enabling automatic transmission of your position in case of an ASN distress call.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio allows selecting a transmission power of 25 W (high power) or 1 W (low power). This enables adapting communication to needs, whether for long-distance or close-range communications.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio supports all international, US, and Canadian marine VHF channels. It also includes country-specific weather channels when available.

Yes, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio is waterproof and submersible, compliant with IPx7 standards. This means it is protected against temporary immersion in water.

The dimensions of the Lowrance LINK-6S VHF radio, excluding the mounting bracket, are as follows:

Width: 166.7 mm (6.56")
Height: 89.2 mm (3.5")
Depth: 161.4 mm (6.35")

DSC Class D enables automated digital calls to other vessels or shore stations. It provides continuous monitoring of DSC channel 70 and, in case of distress, automatically transmits a message including the vessel's identity (MMSI) and GPS position, thereby enhancing safety at sea.

No, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio does not have an NMEA 2000 port. It is equipped with an NMEA 0183 port for connectivity with other navigation equipment.

Via its NMEA 0183 port, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio can:

Receive GPS data: RMC, GGA, GLL, GNS.Transmit DSC information: DSC calls and enhanced position (DSE) to other compatible navigation equipment.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio is designed to operate 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 and overvoltage protection above 15.8 V DC.

A replacement 8 A fuse, type 3 AG glass fuse, 32 mm (1.25") long, is recommended for protecting the Lowrance LINK-6S radio.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio uses an SO-239 type connector (50 ohm) for the VHF antenna.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio has an SMA connector (female) for the GPS antenna.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio offers two mounting options:

Bracket mounting: This is the standard option, allowing easy installation on a flat surface.
Flush mounting: A flush-mount kit is available for a more discreet integration into the dashboard.

The frequency ranges of the Lowrance LINK-6S radio are:

Transmit: 156.025 - 157.425 MHzReceive: 156.050 - 163.275 MHz

The weight of the Lowrance LINK-6S radio is 1.18 kg (2.6 lbs).

Yes, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio allows you to create a custom channel list called "MY CHANNELS" which can be used for scanning ("scan") favourite channels. It also offers scanning of all channels ("All Scan") and the Tri-Watch function.

Yes, the Lowrance LINK-6S radio has an output for an external speaker. It provides an audio output power of 2 W via its internal speaker and up to 4 W with an external speaker.

The Lowrance LINK-6S radio complies with regulations and has obtained the following certifications: CE, FCC Part 15, ISED Canada, and UKCA.

A minimum safe distance of 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) must be maintained between the Lowrance LINK-6S radio and a magnetic compass to prevent interference.
