Fixed Marine VHF Radio

With summer approaching, is your boat ready to be used? Most importantly, are you equipped with the right radio gear? Today we're explaining fixed marine vhf radios.

What is a fixed marine radio?

It is a larger radio that requires the use of space on your boat for installation. It works on the same principle as a handheld VHF. A fixed marine vhf radio usually comes with a microphone and a mounting plate.

Scenarios where fixed marine radios are suitable

Because fixed radios are usually mounted on boats and have a higher transmission power than handheld marine radios. VHF radios are recommended for boaters who venture far from shore and for cruisers in slightly larger boats.

Towboats (small speedboats or larger):

Tugboats are often used when venturing a few nautical miles or more out to sea. And because the vessel has enough room to install radio equipment and existing power on board, it is suitable for a fixed marine radio.

Yacht (or any boat moored to a mooring):

This type of vessel is often on the water and usually out of sight of land. Therefore reliable remote communications become important. Because fixed marine radios have a higher output power, they are recommended for installation on these yachts.
