Advanced Modular Communication for Marine Use

The Raymarine RAY90 Modular VHF Radio offers cutting-edge communication technology for boaters seeking performance, versatility, and durability. Designed as a black-box system, this VHF radio allows for multi-station functionality while keeping the transceiver unit out of sight. It includes a wired handset and passive speaker, ensuring clear communication with powerful audio quality. The system can be expanded with an additional wired handset or upgraded with an optional wireless handset for increased flexibility on board.

Equipped with a 25-watt transmitter and commercial-grade electronics, the RAY90 delivers reliable long-range communication. The integrated Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and optional GPS connectivity enhance safety and navigation capabilities. With an intuitive interface and seamless NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 networking, installation and integration with marine electronics are effortless. The built-in loudhailer and fog signal generator add further functionality, making the RAY90 a valuable addition to any vessel.
