New Remote Control

VHF Marine Radio

Introduced By Uniden

Uniden Corporation of America,

Marine Communications Division has introduced a new 90-channel remote control VHF marine radio, the Uniden MC 900. Its channel coverage includes all U.S. and inter- national channels as well as all weather channels. Its two-piece de- sign includes a compact control head and a power unit that can be stowed out of sight in any location up to 18-feet away.

The radio features automatic monitoring of channel 16. It is fully programmable, touch controlled via a flat, water-resistant keypad, and power is switchable from 1 to 25 watts.

To provide flexibility and conve- nience, a second control head is available as an option. This permits radio operation from a second loca- tion up to 25 feet from the main unit. With two control heads it can be used as a two-way intercom. The control head measures 5.7-inches by 6 inches by 4.4-inches; the main unit is 6/ by 8 by 1% inches.
