LOWRANCE INTRODUCES THE NEW LINK 6 VHF RADIO Lowrance recently announced a rugged and dependable Class D digital selective calling (DSC) marine VHF radio – the new Link-6. The versatile Link-6 is ideal for a variety of boats; from small RIBS to larger sport fishing ski-boats. Providing users with easy and intuitive operation - the new Link-6 includes a high-quality, high-contrast black-on-white display that is clearly visible in bright sunlight. Night-time visibility has also been optimized, with an inverted white-on-black night mode to reduce light emission and preserve night vision. A rotary dial makes channel selection easy, while large and amply spaced buttons provide quick access to all key functions - even with gloves on. A dedicated Channel 16 key is included on both the radio’s front panel and its four-button fist mic- giving boaters instant access to the emergency channel. An integrated Distress button allows for automated DSC distress calling. This DSC function is a requirement- the new Link 6 adheres to all SAMSA requirements and is also ICASA approved. Have an IPX-7 waterproof rating, and carry a full three-year warranty. Link 6 comes in two colour options: either white or charcoal grey.
