Garmin Signal VHF 400 Marine VHF Radio with Built-in AIS Transponder

Enhance your marine communication and navigation with the Garmin Signal VHF 400 Marine VHF Radio, model 010-02951-00. This compact, modern radio features a 3.5-inch color IPS LCD with capacitive touch and edge-to-edge glass, providing an intuitive interface that occupies minimal space at your helm. Designed for harsh marine environments, it boasts an IPX-7 water rating and advanced noise cancellation using machine learning algorithms to deliver clear audio even in windy or engine-heavy conditions. The integrated AIS transponder supports Class B SOTDMA technology, enabling real-time position sharing, collision avoidance, and MOB alarms, which significantly improve situational awareness and safety on the water.

The radio's built-in Class B AIS transponder provides vital data on nearby vessels, including range, course, and speed, helping you navigate safely around other AIS-equipped boats. Its features include automated squelch, VHF audio playback of missed messages for up to three minutes, and multiple watch modes for monitoring several channels simultaneously. The included fist mic has a built-in 5-watt RMS speaker and can be mounted separately for flexible operation. Connect an external speaker or loudhailer for broader audio options, and utilize the listen-back feature to hear background sounds through the mic or external speaker. The radio supports DSC functions, allowing quick distress signal transmission and seamless calling to other AIS vessels with a simple tap.

Connectivity options include built-in Wi-Fi for over-the-air software updates, program MMSI numbers via the ActiveCaptain app, and integrate seamlessly with chartplotters through NMEA 2000 and Garmin BlueNet networks. The VHF/DSC/AIS features only require a single VHF antenna and a built-in GPS antenna/receiver, simplifying installation. The device supports multiple programming languages and has a high backlight intensity of 1,000 nits for visibility in bright conditions. Complete with mounting hardware, cables, and documentation, the Garmin Signal VHF 400 is an all-in-one solution designed for durability, ease of use, and advanced marine safety.

Ideal for serious boaters seeking reliable communication, navigation safety, and AIS integration, this radio ensures you're always connected and aware on the water, supporting your adventures with cutting-edge technology and robust construction.
