VHF Marine Radios

Handheld marine radio options that are submersible, float, and track with GPS to fixed mount VHF radio stations with remote capability. Defender has got your marine radio needs covered. Looking for long-range VHF, AIS, a new antenna, or maybe just a charging cord for your marine handheld? Look no further!

What range can I expect with my new VHF radio?

Fixed-mount marine radios will traditionally provide a better range than a handheld VHF. At Defender Marine VHF radio antennas are available in several sizes and installation of a new antenna can extend the range considerably. High-power marine radio signals generally transmit up to 15 miles or better depending on atmospheric conditions. When it comes to handheld VHF radios, Defender Marine offers radios that receive from 3 to 8 miles

What is AIS and does my marine radio need that?

AIS, or Automatic Identification System, is similar to a Global Positioning System but actually identifies a specific marine VHF radio through registration. AIS is an added safety feature and some would say any safety feature is a good safety feature. Depending on how you use your boat and how far offshore you go, adding a VHF radio with AIS capabilities might be a great idea!

How do I choose from all of these VHF radio options?

Defender offers many options when it comes to VHF radios. Marine radios are a necessity for nearly every watercraft so options should be unlimited! Carefully consider your application - where you do most of your boating will determine your needed marine radio range. Is there room on your dash for a fixed mount radio; is there space above for an antenna? Defender Marine experts are just a phone call away when you need extra assistance deciding which radio is best for you.
