Marine Communication
Sometimes boating safety is as simple as staying in contact with the boats and rescue services around you. Fixed-mount VHF radios and handheld VHF radios allow you to communicate verbally with other boaters. We carry brands like ICOM and Standard Horizon. Install a Shakespeare VHF antenna with your VHF radio to determine its range. AIS transponders and antennas allow boaters and rescue services to see the location and travel direction of registered boats passively and actively when necessary. Satellite communication devices allow the user to text friends and family or contact rescue services in case of an emergency. Marine satellite and TV antennas are a fun way to take advantage of satellite communication technology. Be sure to select the right antenna mounts and accessory cables and connectors to get your marine communication network up and running. West Marine has everything you need to communicate on the water.
