    VHF 115i MARINE RADIO: 25W Class D DSC & NMEA 2000 Integration

    The Garmin VHF 115i is a reliable fixed-mount marine radio designed to keep you in confident contact with the shore and other vessels. It features **25-watt transmit power** for extended range and standard **Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functionality**, which significantly improves your chances of a rapid rescue in an emergency. This radio is designed for easy, plug-and-play installation via the NMEA 2000® network, seamlessly integrating with compatible Garmin Chartplotters and MFDs.


    CRITICAL COMMUNICATION & PEACE OF MIND

    The VHF 115i ensures maximum safety and communication capability, designed with intuitive features and reliable construction.

    KEY SAFETY & NETWORKING FEATURES

    • Class D DSC: Provides standard Digital Selective Calling for distress alerts and direct calling with a user-programmed MMSI.
    • NMEA 2000® Integration: Allows plug-and-play connectivity to compatible Chartplotters [1] for seamless data sharing and GPS position reporting (requires connection to a GPS source).
    • Global Coverage: Includes frequency bands for all U.S., Canadian, and international marine channels.
    • 25-Watt Power: Delivers maximum transmit power for extended range communication during normal and emergency situations.

    INSTALLATION AND RELIABILITY

    The VHF 115i is built for harsh marine conditions and designed to complement modern Garmin helm aesthetics.

    • **Water Rating:** IPX7 waterproof rating (submersible).
    • **Compatibility:** Designed to complement the look of GPSMAP® 7x2/9x2, 7400/7600, and 8400/8600 series Chartplotters.

    Inverell Boating Centre Expert Note:

    The VHF 115i is an essential safety and communication component. Its integrated NMEA 2000 compatibility simplifies installation significantly, as it uses the network for GPS position and power data. Ensure you connect a dedicated VHF antenna to the SO-239 connector for full 25W transmit range.
