Lowrance® Releases Link-6 VHF Radio

Low-profile Fixed Mount Radios are Packed with Features

Tulsa, Okla. – Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics since 1957, announced today a rugged and dependable Class D digital selective calling (DSC) marine VHF radio – the Lowrance Link-6. The versatile Link-6 is ideal for a variety of boats from small RIBs to larger sportfishing boats.

Providing users easy and intuitive operation, the Link-6 includes a high-quality, high contrast black-on-white display that is clearly visible in bright sunlight.

A dedicated Channel 16 key is included on both the radio’s front panel and its four-button fist mic giving boaters instant access to the emergency channel. An integrated Distress button allows automated DSC distress calling.

“Effective communication on the water is the foundation of prudent seamanship,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. “Our customers have come to expect all Lowrance products to include intuitive control, reliable operation and rugged dependability – all packed into a stylish and affordable package. Whether just fishing in the shallows or heading offshore, the Link-6 gives anglers the ability to go anywhere with peace of mind.”

Table-top, overhead, or bulkhead installation is easy with an included gimbal bracket. Flush-mount installation is also supported, with an easy front-mount solution.
