McMurdo R5 Survival VHF Radio GMDSS PACK A 20-001-01A
A marine VHF transceiver has been considered an essential piece of equipment for many decades, both for safety purposes as well as for general day to day use in communicating with harbour authorities, marinas and other vessels. In recent years VHF technology has been further improved to conform to international safety regulations and both commercial and leisure users have benefited from this.
GMDSS regulations have stipulated that handheld VHF radios are not only rugged and waterproof but that they are also simple to use and easy to operate, which has dramatically improved the design and build quality of handheld VHFs. Even if you are not required by law to carry a handheld VHF you can take confidence that McMurdo handheld VHFs meet the stringent standards required for commercial shipping.
The R5 is the ideal solution to meet the stringent GMDSS safety standards for compliant vessels. More than just an emergency radio, the R5 is packed with features, can be easily used even when wearing gloves and its rugged waterproof design means it’s more than a match for what the sea can throw at it.
