MR F77 GPS E Cobra Marine: fixed VHF/DSC with integrated GPS

MR F77 GPS E *MR F77B EU Frontale

Cobra Marine MR F77 GPS E Fixed VHF/DSC with integrated GPS to be sure that geographic coordinates are included in DSC calls.

Description

The Cobra Marine MR F77 GPS E is a fixed VHF specially designed to provide the best safety in DSC calls, this is due to a built-in GPS that averts the often problem of sending a DSC message without GPS coordinates.

In fact internationally, coast guards complain of high reception of DSC messages not accompanied by the geographic location string. This happens because of the simple lack of interface between the on-board GPS and the VHF, or because of improper installation, or because the GPS has failed. The solution designed by Cobra Marine, by integrating the GPS inside the VHF, not only solves all these problems, but also simplifies the installation of the VHF.

The Radio Check function allows you to check the proper operation of the on-board battery, transmission power, and antenna. While the Rewind Say Again function allows us to listen again to a message we failed to hear properly. It also includes a voice amplifier function so that messages can be broadcast to the entire crew in an amplified manner.

Special attention has been given to simplifying operating procedures. The display is very large, and entry into menus is facilitated by soft keys. In addition, the channel caption provides a brief name for each channel so that the operating mode of the chosen channel is better understood.

The NMEA IN can be used for a secondary GPS or to operate as an alarm annunciator. While the NMEA OUT enables reporting on a plotter of vessels involved in a DSC call.

Construction has been carefully designed on a rugged die-cast aluminum frame, and the unit is "submersible" to the IPx7standard. The dimensions of the housing and bracket have not changed from previous models, so it will be especially straightforward to replace the old VHF.

From February 2020 it is available in black color only.
