New VHF becomes available

The company says that the new VHF is a replacement for the popular Sailor RT-2048, of which more than 100,000 units have been sold since its introduction in 1987.

The 6248 will expand the well-known features of the Sailor RT-2048. It is a non-GMDSS VHF, based upon the new Sailor 6222 VHF DSC Class A. New features will include the Sailor Replay function and the LAN option for ThraneLINK, a uniform communication protocol that connects all Sailor equipment in a network.

Radio Holland, part of the Imtech group, says that it will continue to support the RT-2048 for another six years, which means that spare parts will be available and repairs can be offered until April 2017.
