Himunication TS18

The Himunication TS18 is a smart VHF Marine Band DSC Class-D radio with touchscreen and an optional external (integrated) GPS receiver. The Himunication TS18 is equipped with a 4.3 inch HD touchscreen on which all function icons are clearly displayed one by one, such as VHF, PSCAN, DSC, MOB, AIS, Fog-Anchor alarm, etc. These icons are very easy to select by clicking on the screen, similar to a smartphone.

This Himunication is equipped with a large speaker that greatly improves the sound quality of the received messages. In short, the Himunication TS18 is an excellent innovation for both maritime communications and navigation industries.
