AIS Receiver with DSC
A combination of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Distress Signal Calling (DSC) provides users with peace of mind when out on the open sea. With the AIS target call function, users can set up DSC individual calls. Easy access to distress call button on rear panel button.
Simplified Navigation System
Access vessel traffic information and plot up to 50 waypoints for fishing spots or Man-Overboard (MOB) waypoints. The M94D's back-lit screen is dimmable for easy readability under any lighting condition. The large screen allows for easy-to-read icons and text.
Ocean-Ready Features
Ready for the open seas. The M94D's water-resistance measures make it ready to operate under any weather condition.
Float’n Flash
The M94D falls into water, the radio floats and automatically flashes, even when it is off. The LCD screen flashes to help show the radio’s position to easily retrieve.
AquaQuake™
If the M94D decides to take a swim, the AquaQuake draining function removes water from the grill by vibrating at a particular frequency, preventing audio degradation.
Additional Features
- Active Noise Cancelling technology
- Weather channel
- Dualwatch and Tri-watch functions
- Favorite channel function
- Supports 4-digit channels
