Description

Marine VHF carries the great majority of a vessel's everyday communication: port control, pilots, tugs, bridge-to-bridge and working traffic between vessels alongside one another. The 6210 is built for that work, and Cobham Satcom's own description of it is worth taking at face value - clear audio, practical functionality and rugged construction in a compact package.

The rugged part is specific rather than a slogan. The set is fully waterproof to IPX8 and IPX6, and so is the hand microphone, which is what allows it to be installed in an exposed position rather than only in a dry wheelhouse. It draws 12 V DC nominal, tolerates 10.8 to 15.6 V, works from -15 to +55 degrees C, and the transceiver weighs under 1.2 kg.

For watchkeeping the useful features are dual watch, tri-watch and scanning, plus the SAILOR Replay function, which lets a crew review recent traffic instead of asking for a message again. On a busy bridge the 6 W loudspeaker and the large backlit display matter more than they sound: an announcement that cannot be heard over the room, or a channel number that cannot be read at a glance, is the practical limit on a radio of this kind.

Installation is flexible by design. It supports detachable hand microphones, handsets, control speaker microphones, external loudspeakers, loudhailers and foghorn functionality, so one set can serve a bridge, a second control position and a deck loudhailer. What still decides the range you get is the antenna and the feeder: VHF is line of sight, so height wins, and losses in an undersized or badly terminated coaxial run cost more than any difference between radios.

Features

Waterproof to IPX8 and IPX6. Including the hand microphone, so it can go in an exposed position.
6 W loudspeaker and large backlit display. Audible and readable on a busy bridge.
Dual watch, tri-watch and scanning. Keeps more than one channel under watch at once.
SAILOR Replay. Recent traffic can be reviewed rather than asked for again.
Loudhailer and foghorn functionality. The same set drives a deck loudhailer.
Flexible connectivity. Detachable hand microphones, handsets, control speaker microphones and external loudspeakers.
TX 156.000-161.450 MHz, RX 156.000-163.425 MHz. On 12 V DC nominal, tolerating 10.8 to 15.6 V.

Applications

Commercial vessels. Bridge VHF, and additional working sets alongside the GMDSS installation.
Workboats, tugs and crew boats. Where routine VHF traffic is constant.
Exposed installations. Positions where an IPX8 rating on the set and the microphone is the deciding factor.
Vessels needing a loudhailer. Where one set covers radio and deck hailing.
Offshore installations. Marine coordination and standby vessel communication.
Port and terminal operations. Berthing, mooring and cargo coordination.

Our catalogue lists this line as the non-DSC type. If DSC is a carriage requirement for your vessel, tell us and we will confirm the correct variant in the SAILOR 6200 range against Cobham's current data before quoting.

Support & Documents

PT Vivo Asia Teknologi Indonesia supplies and services radio and GMDSS equipment as part of a compliant installation rather than as a boxed item. Our scope typically covers:

Selection against the vessel's or facility's carriage requirements and area of operation.
Installation design: antenna siting, feeder runs, power supplies and battery backup.
Supply, installation, termination and commissioning.
Radio survey support, and coordination with class and flag administration where needed.
Programming, channel plans and licence documentation.
Annual testing, battery replacement and ongoing maintenance.

Approvals, frequencies and electrical details vary by variant and market and are confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet at quotation stage. Tell us the vessel type or site, the flag and the equipment already installed, and we will come back with the right variant and a full bill of materials.
