The Furuno FM-2710 is a high-performance marine radio designed for commercial and recreational boating applications. This VHF marine transceiver is celebrated for its reliability, advanced features, and robust build quality, making it a trusted choice among mariners. With an impressive array of functionalities, the FM-2710 stands out in the competitive marine communication market.

One of the key features of the FM-2710 is its powerful 25-watt output, ensuring clear communication over long distances. This capability is essential for safety and emergency situations, allowing operators to reach nearby vessels or shore stations with ease.
