NEW AND IMPROVED:

Dual Stage RF Input Protection

Receiver Sensitivity of -113dbm

The rugged, industry standard SL161R has now been improved; incorporating dual stage RF input protection to provide superior protection against near lightning strikes and high power transmitters. In addition, with a receiver sensitivity of -113dbm the SM161R-2 is even better than the industry-leading SL161R. An Automatic Identification System, or AIS, has become an indispensable tool for navigation and safety at sea. Information gathered by the RadarPlus is more detailed than radar and enables the everyday boater to see what's coming long before it is in line of sight.

With the addition of the embedded 12 channel GPS receiver and the optional Enhanced Signal Analysis software, supplemental diagnostic functions become available such as:

SLOT NUMBERING
PACKET TIME OF ARRIVAL
PARTIAL PACKET RECEPTION
VDL LOADING
RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATION
AMBIENT NOISE MEASUREMENT
