JHS-780D Mk2

JRC (Japan Radio Co) JHS-780D Mk2 is a marine VHF radio. It is normally installed on the bridge, wing console, radio station or portable emergency position depending on the installed configuration. Its primary purpose is to provide short-range ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and distress or safety communications. Compared with MF/HF, VHF is primarily line-of-sight communication and uses a simpler antenna arrangement but remains dependent on antenna height and feeder condition. The supplied record already contains the available concise model or rating information, so those existing figures are not duplicated here and no additional meaning is inferred from the model code. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
