The Garmin VHF300i marine receiver combines radio communication and 1 or 25 watts of transmit power with multi-station support. The VHF300i comes standard with a two-way hailer system and is also NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 compliant to offer greater onboard functionality.

The VHF300i is equipped with a two-way 30-watt hailer system for communication with other boats or deckhands. In addition, the VHF300i has a patent-pending voicemail feature that lets you pre-record a 15-second message and deliver the message to any Digital Selective Calling radio. You’ll also have the ability to replay the last 90 seconds of any incoming voice transmission at the touch of a button.

The VHF300i is operated via the GHS 10 handset microphone that allows full radio control from a remote location. The GHS 10 features a crisp 2-inch LCD display, dedicated rotary key for frequent tasks, and three soft buttons for dynamic controls. The VHF300i uses the supplied four-inch active speaker with volume knob, the built-in speaker on the GHS 10 or an optional third-party passive speaker. The unit can also accommodate up to three GHS 20 wireless full-function remote controls.

With a space-saving black box configuration, you’ll be able to mount the VHF300i wherever you choose. And with multi-station support, you can add the wired GHS 10 handset microphones throughout your vessel without having to add existing receivers. The system can also be used as an on-boat intercom if you have multiple stations aboard your vessel.

The Garmin VHF300i provides full NOAA weather alerts and Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 connectivity. Should trouble arise, DSC provides distress calls with the push of a button. And if your boat is already interfaced with a compatible GPS chartplotter, you’ll get mayday signaling and a digital broadcast of your boat’s position. The VHF300i also features Position Tracking, which allows a mariner to locate and keep tabs on up to three other boats in the area.
