This data can be displayed on the device’s 256x160 pixel monochrome FSTN LCD screen or overlaid on a compatible multifunction display via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 networks.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGPS Positioning and Network Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    With its integrated GPS receiver, the \u003cstrong\u003eLowrance Link-9\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures precise and reliable positioning. It offers four methods to obtain a GPS fix: an integrated antenna, an SMA connector for an optional external GPS antenna (GPS-500), an NMEA 0183 input from a chartplotter, and an NMEA 2000 connection for a network antenna. This versatility ensures position data availability for ASN distress calls. The radio integrates easily with Lowrance navigation systems via its NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 ports, supporting specific PGNs for smooth data communication. It is compatible with 12 V DC power, with overvoltage protection above 15.8 V and a low-battery alert at 10.5 V DC.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Features and Flexible Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eLink-9\u003c\/strong\u003e is equipped with a removable 6-button microphone with an integrated speaker, which can be connected at the front or rear of the radio, with an optional extension cable for remote installation. Its mechanical design allows simplified front mounting thanks to easily removable top and bottom frames, blending with the aesthetics of Lowrance multifunction displays. Additional functions include a dedicated MOB button to instantly mark a man-overboard position and provide return instructions, as well as the Track Your Buddy™ feature to track the position of up to five contacts via DSC position requests. The radio also features a navigation mode displaying speed and heading, a public address\/horn output with listening function, and supports Dual Watch, Tri Watch, and All Scan scanning modes. The unit is IPx7 certified for water resistance and operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lowrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55920745611604,"sku":"000-14472-001","price":562.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/lowrance-link-9-radio-vhf-marine-avec-asn-et-ais-rx_000-14472-001-01.webp?v=1779462618"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/collections\/ais-seuls.png?v=1774455802","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/lv\/collections\/ais-only-6.oembed","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
