Link-9 VHF radio GPS receiver, marine radio, expandable mounting options

With its integrated GPS receiver, the Link-9 offers four options for obtaining GPS data in an emergency: via the integrated antenna, SMA connectors for a GPS-500 antenna, NMEA 0183 for chartplotter GPS, and NMEA 2000 for the antenna connection. The Link-9's detachable handheld microphone can be connected to the front or rear of the radio. The optional extension cable allows for separate mounting of the radio and microphone, providing a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location and eliminating the need for cluttered cables.

Press the NAV button on the Link-9 to transform it into a navigation instrument, displaying speed and heading. The Link-9 also includes a Man Overboard (MOB) feature. Hold the NAV/MOB button to place a waypoint at your current position, and the Link-9 will enter MOB mode, where you can see how far away you are and where you need to head to reach the person in the water. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted via NMEA 2000 to all other devices on your network.
