The Link-9 VHF fixed-mount radio provides complete communication and data transfer capabilities reliably anywhere on the water
The radio includes safety-critical features such as built-in GPS, an internal dual-channel AIS receiver with AIS plotting, NMEA 2000®/0183 connectivity, a call/hailer output with listening function, Track Your Buddy™ and a dedicated MOB button.
GPS location in 4 ways
Equipped with an integrated GPS receiver, the Link-9 includes four ways to ensure GPS position in an emergency: an internal antenna, an SMA connector for a GPS-500 antenna, a NMEA 0183 interface for a chartplotter GPS, and a NMEA 2000® interface for a network antenna connection.
Built-in AIS
The dual-channel AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS vessels, helping to avoid collisions in congested ports and heavily trafficked waterways. AIS data can be viewed on the Link-9 radio display, on the chart or on the radar screen via the multifunction display.
Remote-mountable handheld microphone
The Link-9 radio's detachable handheld microphone can be connected to the front or rear of the radio. With the optional extension cable, the radio and microphone can be mounted separately, creating an easy and cost-effective solution for installation in any location without the hassle of cables.
Easier front installation
The Link-9 radio features easily removable top and bottom bezels with mounting holes underneath, allowing the radio to be mounted from the front, similar to Lowrance multifunction displays.
Navigation mode
By pressing the NAV button on the Link-9 radio, you can turn the radio into a navigation device that displays speed and course. The Link-9 also includes a Man Overboard (MOB) feature. By holding down the NAV/MOB button, you can set a waypoint at your current location, which will cause the Link-9 to enter MOB mode and display your distance and heading to a person in the water. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted via NMEA 2000 to other parts of your network.
