Detailed description

Hönnuð fyrir samskipti og öryggi á hafi, Simrad RS20S (einnig kölluð Link-6S) er föst VHF-sjónvarpsútsendingar fyrir sjó, flokkur D með ASN (Appel Sélectif Numérique) og innbyggðum GPS. Hún tryggir áreiðanleg samskipti og nákvæma staðsetningu við neyðarástand.

Tækni og geta

Simrad RS20S býður upp á valfrjálsa útvarpsafli 25 W eða 1 W, með rafstraumsneyslu ≤ 6 A við 25 W og ≤ 1,5 A við 1 W á 12 V DC. Útsendingin nær yfir alþjóðleg, bandarísk og kanadísk sjóvarpsrásir, auk landsbundinna veðurrása. LCD-skjáinn (FSTN) er 42 x 34 mm (1,65" x 1,3") með stillanlegri birtu og baklýsingu fyrir góða sýn í mismunandi ljósástandum. Tíðnustöðugleiki er ±5 ppm með 25 kHz rásabil. Hljóðafli er 2 W með 10 % aflögun fyrir 8 ohm hávaðara. Hægt er að tengja ytra hávaðara fyrir betri heyrn.

Tengingar og samþætting

RS20S hefur innbyggðan GPS-viðtakanda með innri loftneti og SMA-kvenn tengi fyrir valfrjálst ytra GPS-loftnet. Þetta tryggir sjálfstæða staðsetningu fyrir ASN neyðarköll, jafnvel án tengingar við önnur GPS-tæki um borð. Hún hefur NMEA 0183 tengingu fyrir innkomu (styður setningar RMC, GGA, GLL, GNS) og útgáfu (DSC fyrir DSC-köll, DSE fyrir nánari staðsetningarupplýsingar), sem leyfir samþættingu við önnur samhæfð siglingatæki. RS20S styður einnig NMEA 2000, ásamt NMEA 0183, fyrir sveigjanlega samþættingu við önnur samhæfð siglingatæki. Tækið er með CE-mörk (RED 2014/53/EU) og vatnsþétt samkvæmt IPx7.

Öryggi og notkun

ASN-fallgildi flokks D með tvöfaldan móttakara (einstakt CH70) tryggir forgang neyðarkalla. Útsendingin hefur einnig þrjár vaktaföll (Tri Watch), skanna fyrir uppáhaldsrásir (My Channels) og heildarskönnun (All Scan). Hægt er að fylgjast með allt að 5 tenglum (Track your Buddy) með sjálfvirkum staðsetningarbeiðnum. MMSI- og nafnaskrá getur geymt 20 númer og hópa, og síminn geymir 20 einstaka og 10 neyðarköll. Tækið vegur 1,18 kg og getur verið sett á festi eða innbyggt. Málin eru L=166,7 mm × H=89,2 mm × D=161,4 mm án festis, og öryggisbil við áttavita er 0,5 m.

« Technical analysis: Simrad RS20S marine VHF radio with ASN and integrated GPS »

The Simrad RS20S VHF radio (also known as Link-6S) is particularly well-suited to small and medium-sized vessels, such as rigid inflatables, day-cruising motorboats, and sailboats, where space and budget may be factors, but where essential safety and communication capabilities remain paramount. Its integrated GPS receiver is a significant advantage, providing autonomous distress capability even if the primary chartplotter or other GPS sources onboard are faulty or absent. This makes it an excellent primary or secondary communication system.

Installation is flexible, with flush-mount or bracket-mount options. NMEA 0183 connectivity simplifies integration with older chartplotters or multifunction displays for position sharing. It also features NMEA 2000 for more modern network integration. The dedicated SMA connector for an optional external GPS antenna is useful in installations where the internal antenna may have an obstructed view, for example when mounted deep within a console. Users should carefully consider placement to ensure optimal GPS signal reception.

Compared to more advanced Simrad models like the RS40 or RS100, which offer NMEA 2000 and often support external handsets or AIS receivers, the RS20S focuses on essential VHF and ASN functions with an added layer of GPS safety. It is a pragmatic choice for recreational boaters who need a reliable Class D ASN VHF with NMEA 2000 network integration, or for those transitioning from an older VHF without GPS. Its simplicity and IPx7 waterproof rating ensure reliable operation in typical marine conditions. The "Track your Buddy" feature, while basic, adds practical value for flotillas or cruises with friends.

For vessels already equipped with a full NMEA 2000 network and requiring advanced features such as direct AIS integration into the VHF or multiple remote stations, a different model with broader extensibility would be more appropriate.
