It allows sending digital distress calls with your GPS position coordinates, as well as making individual or group calls to other vessels equipped with ASN. The radio is Class D with a dual receiver (dedicated Channel 70).

Yes, the Simrad RS20S radio includes an integrated GPS receiver with an internal antenna. It also features an SMA female connector for an optional external GPS antenna, ensuring autonomous position reporting for DSC distress calls even without connection to other onboard GPS equipment.

The Simrad RS20S radio provides selectable transmit power of 25 W (high) or 1 W (low), allowing you to adjust the communication range to your needs.

Yes, the Simrad RS20S radio is waterproof and submersible, compliant with IPx7 waterproofing standards. This means it is protected against temporary immersion in water.

The Simrad RS20S radio supports international, US, and Canadian marine channels. It also includes country-specific weather channels when applicable.

Yes, the Simrad RS20S radio has an NMEA 0183 port. It can receive GPS data (RMC, GGA, GLL, GNS sentences) and send DSC information (DSC calls) and DSE (advanced position data) to other compatible navigation systems.

The dimensions of the Simrad RS20S radio are 166.7 mm (width) x 89.2 mm (height) x 161.4 mm (depth), excluding the mounting bracket.

The Simrad RS20S radio operates 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 +/- 0.5 V and overvoltage protection beyond 15.8 V DC +/- 0.5 V.

Yes, for models intended for the EU, the ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) function must be enabled when using the radio on European inland waterways, in accordance with applicable regulations.

There are two mounting options for the Simrad RS20S radio:

Bracket mounting: Allows installation on a flat surface. Flush mounting: Requires a flush-mounting kit (sold separately or included depending on the pack) for a more discreet integration into the dashboard.

The weight of the Simrad RS20S radio is 1.18 kg.

The safe compass distance for the Simrad RS20S radio is 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) to avoid any magnetic deviation of the compass.

The Simrad RS20S radio is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F).

The Simrad RS20S radio supports various call types, including:

ASN distress calls.Individual calls.Group calls.All ships calls.Position requests (Position Polling).It also features call logs for 20 individual calls and 10 distress calls.

Yes, the Simrad RS20S radio includes several channel scanning functions:

Favourite Channel Scan, which allows you to create a custom list of channels.All Scan (full channel scan).Tri Watch, which monitors channel 16 and another priority channel (or channels 9 and 16 for US models).

The Simrad RS20S radio allows the user to program its MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number. This operation is typically performed during the radio's first power-up and is essential for using ASN functions.

The LCD screen of the Simrad RS20S radio measures 42 mm x 34 mm (1.65" x 1.3") and is FSTN type. It features contrast and backlight controls for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions.

The recommended replacement fuse for the Simrad RS20S radio is an 8 A, 3 AG glass fuse, measuring 32 mm (1.25").

The Simrad RS20S radio uses a VHF antenna connector of type SO-239 (50 ohm).

Yes, the Simrad RS20S VHF has an output for an external speaker. This allows connecting an additional speaker for improved audibility, with an audio output power of 2 W (8 ohm at 10% distortion).
