LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 26 | Page 7

Lowrance Link-9 is simple to install with a low-profile, front-mount design that matches perfectly with Lowrance MFD’s. A start-up wizard, easy channel scan and a ‘favourites’ option enhance the user-friendly functionality of the large, clear white dot-matrix LCD screen. The remote mountable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cable allows the radio and mic to be mounted separately. This offers a simple, cost-effective solution without cable clutter. For boaters who don’t need all the extensive features that the Link 9 provides, Lowrance also offers the more affordable Link 6S VHF radio. Link 6S VHF Radio: The new Link 6s is replacing the previous Link 6 model. The main difference: Link 6s has an internal GPS! The DSC function requires GPS position, therefore it is convenient that the new Link 6S has built-in GPS. The Link 6s is Class D DSC compliant for automated distress calling, including position (when connected to a compatible GPS antenna). With the older Link 6 model, you had to connect the radio to a GPS-enabled display unit via the NMEA network. No longer! Now the Link 6s is an awesome standalone VHF radio.
