B&G V20S VHF Marine Radio with GPS – Class D DSC, NMEA 2000®, IPX7 Waterproof

B&G V20S VHF Radio with Integrated GPS

Stay safe, connected, and compliant on the water with the B&G V20S VHF Radio with GPS. Designed for cruising yachts and club racers alike, the V20S delivers dependable Class D DSC communication, modern connectivity, and a sleek low-profile design that perfectly complements B&G glass bridge displays.

With an integrated GPS receiver, the V20S can transmit your vessel’s position automatically during emergencies—even if other onboard electronics are powered down—making it a critical safety tool for any vessel.

Simple, Intuitive Operation

The V20S is designed to be easy to operate in all conditions. A high-contrast black-on-white LCD ensures excellent daytime readability, while an inverted night mode preserves night vision. A rotary dial allows fast channel selection, and large, clearly labeled buttons provide quick access to essential functions.

A dedicated Channel 16 key on both the radio and the included four-button fist microphone ensures instant access to the emergency channel when seconds matter.

Class D DSC Safety with Built-In GPS

The Class D DSC (Digital Selective Calling) system allows you to send and receive digital distress calls, position reports, and direct radio calls. The dedicated DISTRESS button sends your vessel’s GPS position to all DSC-equipped vessels and coast stations within range, dramatically improving response time in emergencies.

Global Channel Support & Advanced Scanning

Designed for worldwide use, the V20S supports all international VHF channel sets. Advanced scanning options help ensure you never miss important communications:

• Tri-Channel Watch (Channel 16 + user priority channel)

• Scan all channels or only selected favorites

• Custom My Channels list

• Emergency channels prioritized during scanning

Flexible Installation & Marine-Grade Protection

The V20S includes a gimbal mounting bracket for tabletop, overhead, or bulkhead installation. For a clean, modern helm layout, it also supports flush mounting using an easy front-mount design.

Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the V20S is rated IPX7 waterproof and complies with new 2018 EU standards.
