Raymarine RAY63 VHF Marine Radio with Built-in GPS and Digital Selective Calling

The Raymarine RAY63 VHF Marine Radio (Part Number: E70516) offers reliable communication with advanced features tailored for offshore boating. This full-sized marine VHF radio provides clear voice communication and enhanced safety through Digital Selective Calling (DSC), ensuring quick and precise distress signaling. Its built-in GPS/GNSS receiver allows for precise position tracking, and the connection point for an external antenna enhances signal reliability in challenging environments. Designed to integrate seamlessly with onboard systems, the RAY63 supports NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 networking protocols, enabling connection with other navigation and monitoring devices on your vessel.

The RAY63 features oversized controls and a large display for easy operation even in rough conditions. It supports wired and wireless expansion options, including optional RayMic handsets, allowing multiple stations to communicate and function as intercom units, which is ideal for larger vessels or complex operations. The inclusion of surface and trunnion mount kits simplifies installation, and the stylish design complements the Raymarine Axiom family of multifunction displays, maintaining a cohesive look across your onboard electronics.

Engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, the RAY63 is rated IPx6 and IPx7 waterproof, capable of operating within a wide temperature range. Its robust construction includes multiple connection ports, such as NMEA 0183, SeaTalkng, and audio connections, ensuring comprehensive integration with your boat’s systems. Power consumption is optimized for efficiency, with low standby and receive currents, and it offers adjustable power output levels—1 watt for low power and up to 25 watts for high power transmission—allowing for flexible communication distances.

This versatile radio supports all available US, international, and Canadian VHF marine channels, with a frequency range that covers private and standard channels. The receiver employs a double conversion superheterodyne design for superior sensitivity and selectivity, ensuring clear reception even in noisy environments. Additional features include SBAS compatibility for enhanced GPS accuracy, automatic signal acquisition, and fast cold start times. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware, a fistmic, protective antenna boot, and comprehensive documentation, making installation straightforward and efficient. The Raymarine RAY63 VHF Marine Radio is an essential tool for safe, reliable marine communication in any offshore scenario.
