Cobham SATCOM SAILOR 3965 UHF Fire Fighter portable radio

The Cobham SATCOM SAILOR 3965 UHF Fire Fighter is a marine portable radio that specifically fulfils the requirements of SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 10.10.4 – ‘Fire Fighters Communication’. The standards require that approximately 65,000 existing SOLAS vessels worldwide carry intrinsically safe portable radios within the regulated ‘fire fighter outfits’ on board, prior to a vessel’s first survey after July 2018.

The radio is based on Cobham SATCOM’s series of SAILOR portable, GMDSS and ATEX radios. It features an easy-to-read display for channel and battery information; large, tactile buttons; audio confirmations (eg, channel changes) in the operator’s headset; and is compatible with a wide range of established third-party accessories from SAVOX and Peltor. Its bright red colour signals to crew members that the radio should not be used for daily operations and must stay as part of the fire fighter outfit.

As standard, the radio has an ATEX 1.800 mAh rechargeable Li-Ion Battery, IP67 battery pack; however, Cobham SATCOM also offers ATEX approved non-rechargeable emergency batteries. Plus it features the Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) to avoid interference from other nearby vessels and Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) for vessels with a repeater system.
