Making sure your communication needs are met Building on extensive experience in multi station VHF radios, the Simrad RS Series is the most advanced VHF solution available for yachts, meaning you can rely on it to work when you most need it. With four options to choose from, there is an RS system available for boats of all size and type.

You won't find a VHF solution as flexible as the RS Series. You want to add multiple stations? No problem just plug and play. You want reliability and high build quality but don't need DSC? No problem, just choose the RS81. The options are numerous so you can get the exact solution you want. The RS Series is based on 'Black box transceiver' technology. The transceiver can be placed anywhere on board and connected to the control unit or handset via simple to install extension cables. Forming the backbone of the flexibility inherent in the RS Series, the black box transceiver also ensures that you can save space and place the radio exactly where you need it.

RS81/82

Integrated loudspeaker or full class D The RS81 and RS82 are particularly suited to vessels that require a dual station communication system and can be configured in any combination, two RS81 handsets, two RS82 handsets and even one RS81 and one RS82 handset. With two handsets fitted the radio can be used as an intercom system. The RS81 offers a practical voice only solution ideal for vessels with smaller dashboards and less space at the helm.

The ergonomically designed fully waterproof handset features a simple to use keypad that allows easy access to all menu functions. The handset incorporates an integrated loudspeaker as well as the normal earpiece speaker eliminating the need for a separate loudspeaker. It is easily upgradeable to full DSC capabilities by the addition of an RS82 handset.

With full class D DSC capability the RS82 is designed for users who need the extra functionality from the outset. The waterproof handset features a numeric keypad that makes sending DSC calls as simple as making a phone call and an MMSI directory makes repeat calls easy.
