Overview
The Garmin 010-02047-00 is a fixed-mount VHF marine radio with Class D DSC and 25 W transmit power for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications.
It has an internal GPS receiver so DSC calls can include your position when the radio has a valid fix or is fed position data over a connected network. NMEA 2000 connectivity lets it share data with compatible chartplotters and multifunction displays for calling and call information at the helm.
Channel coverage includes U.S., Canadian, and international channel sets, plus NOAA weather channels for monitoring forecasts and alerts while underway.
Key features
- 25 W transmit power with Class D DSC for routine calling and emergency signaling
- Built-in GPS receiver for position in DSC messages when a valid fix or network position is available
- NMEA 2000 connectivity for integration with compatible chartplotters and onboard networks
- Supports a 30 W hailer output for use with an external horn to make voice announcements on deck or at the dock
- Channel sets for U.S., Canada, and international operation, plus NOAA weather channels
- Intercom capability when paired with compatible remote handset accessories for a second station
Installation and setup
Mount the radio where the display and controls are reachable from the helm and the rear wiring can stay dry and ventilated. Plan cable runs so connectors are not under tension and leave room to service the unit.
For DSC, enter your MMSI and confirm the radio is receiving GPS position. If you are networking the radio, connect it to the vessel NMEA 2000 backbone using a proper drop cable and ensure the network is powered and terminated correctly.
A hailer horn and any second-station handset are installed separately. Keep those wiring runs away from high-current engine cables and route them so they are protected from chafe and water intrusion.
Compatibility and fit
This radio fits well on boats that want DSC safety calling with GPS position and want VHF calling details visible on a compatible Garmin or NMEA 2000 chartplotter. It also works for helms where a hailer is useful for docking instructions or crew communication.
On-water use
Use the NOAA weather channels to monitor changing conditions, then switch to the appropriate channel set for your region as you travel. When a DSC call comes in, having it tied into your network can make it easier to identify the caller and respond from the helm.
