B&G V20S Class D DSC VHF Marine Radio with Built-in GPS and High-Visibility Display

The B&G V20S Class D DSC VHF Marine Radio is a reliable communication device designed for global maritime use, offering advanced features for safety and convenience. Equipped with an internal GPS receiver, this radio can transmit your vessel's location during distress calls even if your boat's other electronics are powered down, ensuring quick assistance in emergencies. Its high-contrast black-on-white display provides clear visibility in bright daylight, while the inverted white-on-black night mode allows for easy operation during nighttime or low-light conditions. The rotary channel selector and large push buttons facilitate intuitive control, enabling quick access to essential functions including dedicated Channel 16 keys for instant emergency communication. The included gimbal bracket allows versatile installation options, whether tabletop, overhead, or flush-mounted, matching the sleek low-profile style of modern glass bridge displays. The V20S supports all international channels and features tri-channel watch, enabling users to scan between current, emergency, and priority channels such as calling or weather channels, depending on regional requirements. This ensures that critical safety messages are not missed during operational scans. The DSC (Digital Selective Calling) capability streamlines communication by enabling digital distress alerts, which automatically send your boat’s position to nearby vessels with compatible DSC radios, enhancing safety in emergency situations. When paired with traditional voice calls, DSC provides an additional layer of security, making it easier for rescue efforts to locate and assist your vessel. The radio’s robust design includes waterproofing rated IPx7, making it suitable for harsh marine environments. It also features NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 ports for seamless integration with other navigation and electronic systems onboard, as well as support for external speakers. The V20S is powered by a 12 V DC battery system, with efficient power consumption to extend operational use. Included accessories comprise a mounting bracket, fist microphone, suncover, and mounting hardware, providing everything needed for straightforward installation and operation. Overall, the B&G V20S combines safety, versatility, and ease of use, making it an essential communication tool for both recreational and professional mariners seeking reliable VHF communication with integrated GPS functionality.
