VHF transceiver with ASN Ray 90 (inc. combined unit, passive speaker and cable)

The Raymarine Ray 90 is a VHF transceiver of the "black box" type. This means the main unit is remote-mounted and can be installed discreetly, for example under the deck or in a technical compartment. Unlike traditional all-in-one VHF units, this design allows flexible installation and a less cluttered deck, with only the handset and speaker visible.

The Raymarine Ray 90 system is supplied complete for immediate use. It includes:
