The FCC type-approved FS1503 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, Tx hi/low control. The FS1503 has one port for connecting RB500 or DB500 Distribution Box. The DB500 allows the connection of up to four Remote Stations.
