FM-8900S

Furuno FM-8900S is a marine VHF radio installation listed in the supplied equipment record. It is normally installed on the bridge, in a radio console or as a portable unit depending on the exact model and approval. Its primary purpose is to provide short-range ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and distress or safety communications in the marine VHF band. Compared with MF/HF equipment, VHF is intended for line-of-sight communications and uses simpler antenna systems but remains dependent on antenna height, feeder condition and correct channel configuration. The model designation identifies a particular manufacturer configuration, but the supplied record does not define every hardware, material, control, or certification difference to adjacent models. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, materials, connection details, and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
