Detailed description

Simrad RS20S (tudi označena kot Link-6S) je fiksna morska VHF radijska naprava razreda D z vgrajenim ASN (digitalni klicni sistem) in GPS-om. Namenjena je zanesljivi komunikaciji in natančni lokaciji v primeru nujnosti na morju.

Tehnične zmogljivosti in funkcije

Simrad RS20S omogoča izbiro oddajne moči 25 W ali 1 W, pri porabi toka ≤ 6 A pri 25 W in ≤ 1,5 A pri 1 W pri 12 V DC. Radijska naprava pokriva mednarodne, ameriške in kanadska kanale ter državno specifične vremenske kanale. Ima LCD FSTN zaslon velikosti 42 x 34 mm (1,65" x 1,3") z nastavitvijo kontrasta in podsvetljavo za optimalno vidljivost v različnih svetlobnih pogojih. Stabilnost frekvence je ±5 ppm, razmik med kanali pa 25 kHz. Zvočna izhodna moč je 2 W z 10 % distorzijo pri 8 ohm zvočniku. Možna je povezava zunanjega zvočnika za boljšo slišnost.

Povezljivost in integracija

RS20S ima vgrajen GPS sprejemnik z notranjo anteno in ženskim SMA vtičem za opcijsko zunanjo GPS anteno. Ta funkcija zagotavlja samostojno lokacijo za ASN klice v sili, tudi brez povezave z drugimi GPS napravami na krovu. Ima NMEA 0183 vhod (podpira stavke RMC, GGA, GLL, GNS) in izhod (DSC za DSC klice, DSE za napredne lokacijske informacije), kar omogoča integracijo z drugimi kompatibilnimi navigacijskimi sistemi. RS20S poleg tega vključuje tudi NMEA 2000 povezljivost za fleksibilno integracijo z drugimi kompatibilnimi navigacijskimi sistemi. Naprava je certificirana po standardu CE (RED 2014/53/EU) in neprepustna po standardu IPx7.

Varnost in uporaba

Funkcija ASN razreda D s dvojnim sprejemnikom (posamezni CH70) zagotavlja prednost klicev v sili. Radijska naprava vključuje funkcije kot so trojna spremljava (Tri Watch), skeniranje priljubljenih kanalov (My Channels) in celoten pregled (All Scan). Omogoča tudi spremljanje do 5 kontaktov (Track your Buddy) prek avtomatskih zahtev za lokacijo. MMSI in imenik lahko shrani 20 številk in skupin, klicni dnevniki pa hranijo 20 posameznih klicev in 10 klicev v sili. Naprava tehta 1,18 kg in jo lahko namestite na okvir ali vgradite, kar omogoča fleksibilno namestitev. Dimenzije so D=166,7 mm × Š=89,2 mm × V=161,4 mm brez okvirja, varnostna razdalja od kompasa pa je 0,5 m.

« Technical analysis: Simrad RS20S VHF radio with ASN and built-in GPS »

The Simrad RS20S VHF radio (also known as Link-6S) is particularly suited to small and medium-sized vessels, such as rigid inflatable boats, day-cruising tenders, and sailboats, where space and budget may be factors, but where essential safety and communication capabilities are paramount. Its built-in GPS receiver is a significant advantage, providing autonomous distress capability even if the primary chartplotter or other GPS sources fail or are absent on board. 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 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 in 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 security. 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" function, 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.

Need help? Contact us

What is ASN and is it integrated into this VHF radio?

ASN (Digital Selective Calling), or DSC in English, is a safety feature built into the Simrad RS20S radio. It allows you to send digital distress calls with your GPS position coordinates, as well as make individual or group calls to other vessels equipped with ASN. The radio is Class D with a dual receiver (dedicated Channel 70).

Does the Simrad RS20S VHF radio have an integrated GPS?

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