Experience unparalleled freedom on the water with the B&G H60 Wireless Handset, designed specifically to pair with your V60 VHF radio. This innovative remote control transforms your fixed-mount VHF into a truly mobile communication hub, letting you manage channels, make calls, and access critical distress functions from any corner of your vessel. Say goodbye to being tethered to the helm—stay connected while handling sails, monitoring navigation, or simply enjoying the deck.
Unlock Full VHF Power from Anywhere Aboard
The H60 mirrors the V60’s intuitive display and controls, delivering the same high-performance transmission capabilities without compromise. Whether you’re coordinating with crew during a race or responding to an emergency, its reliable wireless link ensures you’re always in command. Boaters rave about how this setup enhances situational awareness, especially on larger yachts where quick access to comms can make all the difference.
Boatwide Coverage and Crew Communication
Boasting an impressive 100-meter range, the H60 provides seamless coverage across even the most expansive vessels. Pair multiple handsets with your V60 for a versatile onboard intercom system—perfect for relaying instructions from the cockpit to the engine room or foredeck. This crew-to-crew functionality fosters smoother operations, reducing miscommunications that can arise in noisy marine environments.
Built Tough for Harsh Marine Life
Engineered with IPX7 waterproofing, the H60 withstands submersion and spray without flinching, making it a trusty companion in rough seas or sudden downpours. Its inductive charging cradle eliminates vulnerable contacts that corrode over time, ensuring longevity and hassle-free maintenance. A single charge delivers up to 8 hours of continuous use, balancing portability with endurance for extended outings.
Key Advantages Over Traditional Handhelds
Unlike standalone handheld radios, the H60 leverages your V60’s full power output and advanced features, including Digital Selective Calling (DSC) for swift distress signaling. It’s not just a backup—it’s an extension that elevates your primary VHF setup. Integrate it effortlessly into B&G’s ecosystem for sailing enthusiasts seeking precision instruments alongside robust comms.
Practical Tips for Peak Performance
Position the charging cradle in a convenient, dry spot for overnight readiness. Regularly update your V60 firmware to unlock any compatibility enhancements. For multi-handset setups, assign unique IDs to avoid crosstalk. Test the range periodically in open water to familiarize yourself with its limits, ensuring optimal use during critical moments.
