Designed specifically for the demanding environment of sailing and cruising, the V60 is more than just a radio; it´s a critical communication and safety device that seamlessly integrates with your existing B&G navigation system. With its powerful features, intuitive design, and rugged construction, you can navigate with greater confidence, knowing you have the best in marine communication technology at your fingertips. The large, clear display and intuitive rotary and keypad controls ensure straightforward operation, even in rough seas, while the removable fist microphone can be conveniently mounted anywhere on board.

Uncompromised Safety and Situational Awareness

The V60 prioritizes your safety above all else. Featuring a built-in, dual-channel AIS receiver, it allows you to see and be seen by other AIS-equipped vessels in your vicinity. This vital information is displayed directly on the radio´s screen or can be overlaid on your B&G chartplotter or multifunction display, dramatically improving your situational awareness in crowded waterways and during periods of low visibility. The radio is fully Class D DSC approved, enabling automated distress calls with a single press of a button, which includes your vessel´s identity and GPS position. The innovative Track Buddy feature can track the position of up to five other radios, making it perfect for staying in touch with friends, flotillas, or fellow race participants.

Seamless Integration and Expandability

Engineered to be the heart of your communication system, the B&G V60 offers superior connectivity through both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 protocols. This allows for effortless integration with the full range of B&G MFDs, chartplotters, and instruments. Expand your system´s reach by pairing the V60 with up to two optional H60 wireless handsets. These handsets mirror the radio´s display and controls, giving you the freedom to make and receive calls from anywhere on your vessel, untethered from the helm. For added functionality, the V60 also supports an optional loudhailer and foghorn, ensuring your voice and signals are heard clearly across the water.
