The latest addition to Furuno's HF Radio line that
has won the prestigious NMEA award for SSB/GMDSS for the
past two years in a row, the FS1503EM is a 150 Watt, P-P
Single Sideband (SSB) Radiotelephone. This rugged,
splash-proof 150 Watt (max) radio is ideal for
commercial fishing operations, extended cruising or any
situation requiring long-range communication
capabilities. The FS1503EM is 100% Sail-Mail/E-Mail
compatible right out of the box, and is capable of full
Marine HF Weather Fax reception.
The FCC type-approved FS1503EM incorporates the most
advanced technology available and is built to withstand
demanding marine conditions. It’s also simple to use,
thanks to a choice of rotary control or touchkey
frequency/channel selection. Instant access to
international calling, and distress frequency 2182kHz is
available at the touch of a single button.
Optional remote Station RB500
The optional RB500 allows operation of the
radiotelephone at a remote location. Key functions
include intercom, instant selection of 2182Khz, squelch
on/off, and TX hi/low control.
The FS1503EM has one RS232 port to connect an email
modem. If RB500 remote stations are desired, it will be
necessary to connect an optional DB500 distribution box
to that port. The DB500 can then accommodate up to three
RB500 remotes plus the email modem.
