Features
The FURUNO FM-8800D/FM-8800S is a cost-effective all-in-one marine VHF radio system consisting of a 25 W VHF radiotelephone, a DSC modem, and a CH 70 watch receiver. It complies with GMDSS carriage requirements for safety and general communications.
The FM-8800D offers full-duplex voice communications and the FM-8800S offers simplex voice communication on ITU channels in the marine mobile VHF band. The features include Dual Watch which allows a continuous watch on CH16 and another selected frequency.
Full Class-A DSC functions are provided for distress alert transmission and reception, as well as the general call formats (Individual telephone, All Ships, Group and Area Call). Distress alert can be readily transmitted but an arrangement is provided to prevent accidental activation. The FM-8800D/ FM-8800S maintains a continuous watch on CH70 even while another VHF channel is in use. Aural and visual alarms are given to incoming DSC messages.
