Product details

VHF marine radio system with DSC Class D function, integrated AIS receiver and ATIS internal radio. The Dual and Tri-Watch functions provide better monitoring of radio traffic. With the TrackYourBuddy function you can display the position data of up to three friends.
The LINK-8 system receives its position data either via the NMEA2000 or NMEA0183 interface. The device is waterproof in accordance with IPX7 (30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter). All international marine channels can be received and the system allows easy access to all DSC functions.
The menu navigation is clear and user-friendly and the user has quick access to all relevant functions, especially in hazardous situations. The LINK-8 radio is equipped with a particularly large rotary knob for changing channels quickly, menu navigation and operation control functions. The highly sensitive hand-held microphone has six buttons for quick control and is encased in a sturdy, non-slip rubber housing.


For simple, fast and safe installation of a VHF system, we recommend the Glomex Glomeasy FME antenna system. Further information can be found in our Glomex Glomeasy Line category.

  • Class D DSC approved
  • Dual channel AIS receiver
  • Ergonomic microphone with built-in speaker

Programming notes:

This device has to be programmed with your personal data, such as: MMSI and/or ATIS numbers. You can program the device yourself or we can do it for you for a surcharge.

Please enter your MMSI / ATIS number in the 'comment' field during your order or fill out our datasheet for programming VHF radios and send it to: [email protected].

If additional channels (e.g. dutch channels 30, 31 and 37) are to be programmed, we charge a programming fee.

I have the plant not yet in operation - but it offers all the functions which are important to me for an attractive price. The device makes a very valuable impression - the test results were convincing.

First-class equipment. I chose this because, in contrast to many others of the same class, it is not only the old protocol NMEA 0183, but also NMEA 2000 dominates. This saves some trouble and trial with baud rates, and you're better equipped for the future. \ U200b \ u003cbr / \ u003cbr / \ u003cbr / \ u200b \ u200b \ Invisible. After complaining this sure rare individual case, SVB sent a new, different device with complete menu, which works best. Conclusion: Recommended!

Good Morning Matias, No this is not possible. But if you have already installed an GPS Antenna to your plotter, you can spend GPS Data per NMEA0183 maybe from Plotter to VHF or if it works in NMEA2000 Network about an converter
