Introduction 1
1.1 VHF radio with DSC Class A
Exceeding standards set by IMO regulation for GMDSS Class A VHF, the August 2021-
introduced Bridge Alert Management IMO resolution MSC.302(87), as well as IEC 62923-1
& IEC 62923-2, the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC Class A is a robust platform for when clear
communication could make the difference between a non-event and a major incident.
As part of the required safety equipment, use the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC in an emergency
situation. However the best way to guarantee functionality in an emergency situation, is to
use the radio in daily communication on board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio consisting of two units connected with a
standard Ethernet cable:
• SAILOR 7224 Control Unit
• SAILOR 7226 VHF Transceiver Unit
It is designed with an easy-to-use menu-driven setup. You use the touch screen on the
SAILOR 7224 Control Unit or a connected device with a browser to enter the desired
functions. You can also select channels using the rightmost selection knob. The large
display can be customized for optimum readability and visibility both day and night with
different color themes.
The VHF radio can replay 480 seconds of received voice messages. This is a useful feature
to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the radio is unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external equipment like a
BAM system, additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control speaker
microphone, alarm panel or external speaker. The Ethernet interface connects the Control
Unit with the Transceiver Unit, and enables the VHF radio to be connected to other units in
a local network. Instead of the touch screen on the Control Unit, you can also connect a PC
or other device with a browser for setup and control via the web interface.
For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available on page 1-3
and check with your nearest distributor.
