The Garmin VHF 100i provides full Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability via NMEA 0183 interface. Should trouble arise, DSC provides distress calls with the push of a button. And if your boat is already interfaced with a compatible GPS chartplotter, you’ll get mayday signaling and a digital broadcast of your boat’s position. The VHF 100i also features Position Tracking, which allows a mariner to locate and keep tabs on up to three other boats in the area.
The VHF 100i has a simple user interface that’s easy to read while on the go, so you’ll always have the right information at the right time. In addition to dedicated buttons and knobs for easy use, the VHF 100i features three soft keys linked to onscreen menus that allow boaters to see and select the information they want. The VHF 100i also offers premium sound quality so every message is loud and clear. And to make sure the data stands out, the information is available on a 3.2″ (8.13 cm) display – the largest screen available in its class.
