With the FS-1575/FS-2575/FS-5075 MF/HF DSC SSB radios FURUNO has invented ‘simple’ operation of an SSB radio - an advantage which will assist crew members who in general seldom use the SSB radio in their daily work.

These new radios provide prompt status overview, which - especially in ‘emergency’ situations - is important in order to have a full overview of the radio, i.e. the channels selected, signals strengths, power and message composing etc, without consulting a ‘How To Do’ operators manual.

In addition the radio contains a wide range of new features – not only related to GMDSS–regulation - which will make these new SSB radio’s important tools in the daily communication and operation of your vessel. 

A new feature for in- and outgoing messages is shown as simple messagebox icons.

Furthermore, the radio is equipped with a ‘Call log’ storing all previous DSC messages and calls.  

‘Short cut’ bottoms define DSC messaging for either ‘Emergency DSC’ messages or ‘Other DSC’ messages - clearly distinguishing from composing real emergency action or e.g. relay messages of the occurrence of a distress event obtained by non-DSC means.
