Furuno USA FM4800 Fishing VHF, Other | sku-939362415

The Furuno USA FM4800 is a marine VHF radio listed in Fishing, color Other, One Size (sku-939362415, UPC 611679377609). It has Class D DSC, a built-in GPS receiver, an AIS receiver, a simplified 30-watt loud hailer and an intercom. Its built-in GPS enables DSC without an external GPS source and can provide backup positioning for other onboard electronics.

An external GPS source can also connect to the radio. Through NMEA0183 or NMEA2000, the FM4800 shares GPS, DSC and AIS data; its AIS targets can appear on networked plotters or MFDs, including NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2 and GP1871F/GP1971F units. With a NMEA2000 connection to a TZtouch2 MFD, users can initiate DSC calls from an AIS/DSC target.

When MOB is activated on that MFD, a distress call can be initiated with the FM4800 rotary knob. Direct DSC calling from TZtouch2 MFDs requires version 6.01 software. The hailer provides 8 alert patterns, fog horn and warning signals. An optional second-station handset enables intercom use, while Listen Back sends external sounds picked up by the horn speaker through the built-in speaker.

The radio can be bracket-mounted on a desktop or overhead, or flush-mounted; its appearance matches Furuno NavNet TZtouch2, NavPilot 711C and FI70 equipment. Features include pigtail cables, a 5-in-1 configuration, an optional HS4800 remote for dual-station operation up to 30 meters, NMEA0183 output to legacy equipment and IP67 waterproofing for the transceiver, microphone and optional handset and speaker.

It is NMEA2000 certified. The radio is not scrambler capable; its listed color specification is Black. Box dimensions are 7"H x 11"W x 12"L, and weight is 6.9 lbs. The product may not be returned to the original point of purchase; contact the manufacturer with issues or concerns.
