VHF Radios by COBHAM

Marine VHF radios are an essential tool for communication at sea. These two-way radio transceivers are widely used by both large and small ships worldwide to facilitate communication between vessels and with shore stations. Navigation, traffic control, contacting rescue services, and communication with harbors, bridges, and marinas are just a few of the essential services that these radios enable. They function within the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) VHF maritime mobile band, which spans 156–174 MHz. With a maximum transmitter power of 25 watts, their effective range typically reaches up to 100 kilometers (54 nautical miles). Due to their importance for both safety and operational effectiveness, VHF radios are a standard feature on smaller seagoing vessels and an essential part of larger ones.
