The Cobra Marine MR F77 GPS E is a fixed VHF radio designed specifically to offer the best security in DSC calls, thanks to an integrated GPS that avoids the often problematic issue of sending a DSC message without GPS coordinates.
In fact, coast guards internationally complain about receiving a high number of DSC messages without the relevant geographical position string. This happens due to the simple lack of an interface between the on-board GPS and the VHF, or because of a faulty installation, or because the GPS is malfunctioning. The solution designed by Cobra Marine, integrating the GPS into 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 correct functioning of the on-board battery, transmission power and antenna. The Rewind Say Again function allows you to listen again to a message that you were unable to hear properly. It also includes a voice amplifier function so that you can transmit messages to the entire crew in an amplified manner.
Particular attention has been paid to simplifying operating procedures. The display is very large and softkeys make it easy to navigate the menus. In addition, the channel caption provides a short name for each channel, so you can better understand the operating mode of the selected channel.
The NMEA IN can be used for a secondary GPS or to operate as an alarm signal. The NMEA OUT allows you to signal boats involved in a DSC call on a plotter.
The construction has been carefully designed on a sturdy die-cast aluminium frame and the unit is submersible according to the IPx7 standard. The dimensions of the recess and bracket are unchanged from previous models, making it particularly easy to replace your old VHF.
It is available in black (model MR F77B GPS E) and white (model MR F77W GPS E).
