New Ray 260 VHF

Raymarine’s new top-of-the-line VHF radio, the new Ray 260, is packed full of innovative, practical features designed specifically to enhance safety on board.

Featuring a new modular design, the Ray 260 includes a remote speaker receiver, a full-function handset and the ability to interface with the latest generation of Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs).

The Ray260 VHF is also able to support three remote stations, has an integral 30-watt loudhailer and foghorn, can be paired with an AIS receiver and features Raymarine’s new, highly innovative Digital Voicemail function.

Ideal in situations when important messages (such as Mayday or Pan Pan calls) are hard to hear, Digital Voicemail enables users to record incoming voice messages or alerts of up to 90-seconds.

Just as practical, the Ray 260’s powerful, remote-mounted speaker comes with an adjustable volume control to ensure those on board can clearly and loudly hear all incoming messages. The Ray260 can also support two additional handset/speaker units, giving skippers complete control from up to three onboard locations.

Rugged and ergonomically designed, the Ray260’s slimline handset features an extra-large LCD display for perfect viewing in all conditions and dedicated soft keys for easy control of its many features and functions.

Raymarine’s new AIS version of the Ray 260 (the Ray260 AIS) includes all the features of the standard Ray260 plus an internal dual channel Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver. Easily networked to an MFD, the Ray260AIS seamlessly integrates with chartplotter and radar applications, providing AIS target overlays and giving a clear, easy to understand view of any other vessels close by. Both the Ray260 and Ray260 AIS have NMEA200 networking capability via Raymarine’s SeaTalkng cabling system.
The Ray 260’s compact, modular design is ideal for both small and large vessels and its modern appearance matches perfectly with Raymarine’s latest generation multifunction displays and instrument systems.

The new Ray260 and Ray260 AIS are now available nationwide through Lusty and Blundell’s network of leading marine dealers.
