Lowrance has announced an all-new line of marine VHF radios which will soon be available in Australia.
The fixed-mount LVR-880 and LVR-250, and the handheld LHR-20, are innovative and functional solutions for consumers seeking exceptional performance at an affordable price.
Lowrance’s new LVR-880 is the first powerful, fixed-mount, DSC-equipped 25/1 watt radio to offer dual VHF and FM radio capabilities. The VHF also integrates NMEA 2000 with DSC-101 for distress and buddy-tracking features when connected to a compatible Lowrance GPS chartplotter.
The exclusive ‘Track Your Buddy’ feature connects DSC position polling to Lowrance LCX, LMS and GlobalMap™ units via the NMEA 2000 network, for GPS location display of up to three boating friends.
The LVR-880 also includes intercom/hailer-horn, an extra-large 64x128 FSTN segmented display with backlighting and a six-key speaker microphone for left-handed or right-handed use. Featuring all international marine channels, the unit is also JIS 7 waterproof/submersible.
The new LVR-250 DSC25/1 watt, fixed-mount VHF radio with DSC provides high-quality features without a high price. Also delivering all international marine channels, the LVR-250 features DSC-101 connectivity for distress calling, local/distant feature to eliminate unwanted interference, and six-key speaker microphone for left-handed or right-handed use.
Lowrance’s marine VHF line-up also includes innovation for the handheld market segment, with the new LHR-20 with 5/1 watt transmit power. It includes advanced Li-Ion battery pack/charger technology for best-in-class battery life.
Also built tough to exacting JIS 7 waterproof/submersible standards, both offer extra features like bright LED TX indicator, power saver circuitry, larger LCD display for user visibility, and RSSI to meter strength of incoming/outgoing signals.
All of Lowrance’s new VHF marine radios come with a full two-year warranty.
RRPs start from AU$249 (LHR-20) and round out at AU$499 (LVR-880).
