Reliable on the water communication with Built-In GPS and AIS Receiver

The Lowrance Link-9 VHF Radio with DSC and built-in AIS receiver has a front mounted sleek design, seamless integration via NMEA 0183/NMEA 2000 and a large display with an intuitive user interface. Built with a new industrial design, the Link-9 follows suite with the high-end design of the Lowrance MFD’s making this a great addition to any vessel.

This VHF radio provides multiple ways to ensure you have the most accurate location data in the event of an emergency. Utilize the internal antenna, connect a compatible external antenna, or connect the Link-9 to a chartplotter via NMEA 0183/NMEA 2000 for further versatility. A dual channel, internal AIS receiver helps monitor the position of nearby AIS equipped vessels to enhance awareness in crowded harbors and the AIS information can be viewed on the Link-9 display or overlaid on a compatible MFD chart.

Some other key features of this VHF to make note of are the Track Buddy feature and navigation mode. The Track Buddy feature will allow you to automatically request the position of another vessel and provides the ability to track up to 5 other vessels at a specified minute interval of your choice. Display other vessels position on a compatible chartplotter just by entering their MMSI# into your contact list. In the event you’re primary chartplotter goes out, your Link-9 can turn into a navigational unit displaying speed and course and offers a MOB (man Over Board)feature as well. Hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint and also have the ability to share it with other devices on your NMEA 2000 network.
