The intention is not to delve into details, but to differentiate models by several important characteristics.
All radios will be fixed-mount, 25-Watt, DSC Class-D radios; the differentiating characteristics will be limited to:
- ITU M-493 version compliance
- NMEA capability
- integration of internal GNSS receiver
- integration of AIS receiver
- Channel selection method
Subsequent posts to this thread will discuss the products of one manufacturer in each post. I hope to eventually cover all the major manufacturers of marine VHF radios.
