● Unique Selling Points
● GPS 4-Ways:​

• With the integrated GPS receiver the Link-9 now has four ways to ensure you have a GPS fix in the event of an emergency.
• A GPS antenna in the face of the radio means open air installations don’t need another antenna at all
• An SMA connector on the rear case allows for connection to a GPS-500 antenna
• NMEA 0183 allows you to get GPS from a chartplotter
• NMEA 2000 means you don’t need another antenna if you already have one in your network

● Built in AIS​

• A dual-channel AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways.
• AIS information can be viewed on the Link-9’s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible multifunction display.

​● Remote Mountable Fist Mic

• The Link-9’s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cable allows the radio and mic to be mounted separately.
• This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter.
• For example, the Link-9 can be mounted overhead, with no hanging cables, while the mic is connected to an extension socket on the dash below.

● Mount From The Front​

• Link-9 features easily removable top and bottom bezels which reveal mounting holes allowing the same style of mounting from the front that is featured on Lowrance MFDs.
