Furuno's cost-effective new

FM8500 VHF radio, with built-in "digital selective calling" (DSC) modem, complies with

GMDSS requirements.

Furuno can tailor your GMDSS console to specific flag or local requirements. Plus, with the same basic Furuno GMDSS operating system from ship to ship, vessel personnel do not have to retrain every time they change vessels.

WORLDWIDE SERVICE

AND PARTS NETWORK.

With a Furuno GMDSS system, you're supported by an international shore-based main- tenance, service and parts network, coordinated through three continental service centers. Furuno's GMDSS service training is standardized, so you can count on factory trained, authorized Furuno service agents — people who are ready to service your equipment quickly and efficiently — in virtually any deep-water port.

For meeting maximum GMDSS requirements with minimum cost and space, turn to the GMDSS leader.
