Furuno FS-1575

Furuno FS-1575 is a GMDSS MF/HF radio installation. It is normally installed in the bridge radio console or dedicated radio station with antenna tuner, transmitting antenna and emergency power interfaces. Its primary purpose is to provide medium- and high-frequency voice and digital distress, safety and operational communications beyond normal VHF range. Compared with VHF radio, MF/HF equipment provides longer-range communication and usually includes an automatic antenna tuner and more complex antenna and grounding arrangements. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, materials, connection details, and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Service

Service notes.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.

Inspect antennas, insulators, feeders, tuner, grounding or counterpoise connections, power supplies and operator controls. Test routine voice and DSC functions using permitted procedures and confirm emergency-power availability. Verify programmed ship identity and distress settings. RF measurements and alignment require approved service equipment and manufacturer documentation.

Inspection

Common failures & inspection points

Antenna, tuner or grounding faults cause high reflected power, failed tuning, reduced range or transmitter protection alarms
Power-supply or emergency-power failure causes blank displays, resets or inability to transmit
Microphone, handset or audio-path faults cause poor or absent transmitted or received audio
DSC/controller or interface faults prevent distress calling, scanning or message handling and produce communication alarms
Internal transmitter or receiver faults cause weak reception, no RF output or intermittent operation
