VHF radio

SAILOR 6248 VHF is approved 

to R&TTE, FCC and Industry 

Canada

and is waterproof to 

the IPx8 and IPx6 standard. As 

part of the required safety 

equipment, use the SAILOR 

6248 VHF in an emergency 

situation. However the best 

way to guarantee functionality 

in an emergency situation, is 

to use the radio in daily 

communication on board. 

The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio. It is designed with an easy-

to-use menu-driven setup. You use the soft-keys and the keypad to enter the 

desired functions, you browse and select a setting using the right selection 

knob. The large display can be customized for optimum readability and 

visibility both day and night with several color themes.

The VHF radio can replay the last 240 s of received voice messages. This is a 

useful feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when 

the radio is unattended.

With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external 

equipment like additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control 

speaker microphone or external speaker. The Ethernet interface enables the 

VHF radio to be connected to ThraneLINK for remote control and service 

updates.

For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available 

on page 4 and check with your nearest distributor.
