Lowrance's marine radio line-up expands

Lowrance's new LVR-880 is the first powerful, fixed mount, DSC-equipped 25/1 watt radio to offer dual VHF and FM radio capabilities. The VHF also integrates NMEA 2000 with DSC-101 for distress and buddy-tracking features when connected to a compatible Lowrance GPS chart plotter. The exclusive 'Track Your Buddy' feature connects DSC position polling to Lowrance LCX, LMS and GlobalMap units via the NMEA 2000 network, for GPS location display of up to three boating friends.

The LVR-880 also includes intercom/hailer horn, an extra large 64x128 FSTN segmented display with back lighting and a six-key speaker microphone for left handed or right handed use. Featuring all international marine channels, the unit is also JIS 7 waterproof/submersible. The new LVR-250 DSC25/1 watt, fixed mount VHF radio with DSC also delivers all international marine channels. The LVR-250 features DSC-101 connectivity for distress calling, local/distant feature to eliminate unwanted interference, and six-key speaker microphone for left handed or right handed use.

Lowrance's marine VHF line-up also includes innovation for the handheld market segment, with the new LHR-20 with 5/1 watt transmit power. It includes advanced Li-Ion battery pack/charger technology for best-in-class battery life. Also built tough to exacting JIS 7 waterproof/submersible standards, both offer extra features like bright LED TX indicator, power saver circuitry, larger LCD display for user visibility, and RSSI to meter strength of incoming/outgoing signals. All of Lowrance's new VHF marine radios come with a full two-year warranty.

RRPs start from $249 (LHR-20) and round out at $499 (LVR-880).
