Raymarine Ray53 Compact Fixed Mount VHF Radio with GPS - E70524

The Raymarine Ray53 is a full-function VHF marine radio featuring GPS, Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and a built-in GPS receiver in a compact package. Simply program your boat's MMSI number into the Ray53 and immediately benefit from the enhanced calling and safety features of DSC.

With support for both NMEA2000 and legacy NMEA0183 networking, the Ray53 can easily connect with other onboard electronics. Ray53 also supports the connection of an optional remote speaker (A80542) to provide audio at a second location.

It is designed to comply with the latest international regulations and includes a connection point for an optional GPS/GNSS antenna. The optional antenna improves GPS reception when the radio is mounted below deck, in an enclosed pilothouse, or inside a metal enclosure. The attractive new industrial design complements Raymarine's Axiom family multifunction displays. Package comes with both a standard trunnion mounting kit as well as surface mounting hardware.
