FM4800 VHF Radio with AIS, GPS Loudhailer

Marine VHF Radiotelephone with Class D DSC, GPS Receiver, AIS Receiver and Simplified Loud Hailer

The FM4800 is a marine VHF radiotelephone with built-in Class D DSC, GPS Receiver, AIS Receiver, and Simplified Loud Hailer with intercom. Its compact housing enables it to be installed in a variety of craft, even vessels where space is limited, such as center-console boats. The unit can be mounted on its lightweight bracket, either desktop or overhead, or it can be flush mounted. The FM4800 shares a common appearance with other Furuno equipment, such as NavNet TZtouch2, NavPilot 711C, and the FI70 Instrument series, offering an integrated appearance to any helm.

With its built-in GPS receiver, the FM4800 does not require an external GPS source to enable its DSC functionality. The unit can be used as a backup source of GPS positioning for other onboard electronics. Its built-in AIS Receiver can be used to overlay AIS targets with networked GPS Plotters or MFD's, such as NavNet TZtouch, NavNet TZtouch2, or GP1871F/GP1971F combo units.

Built-In GPS, DSC AIS

An existing GPS source can be connected to the FM4800, and it can share its own GPS, DSC and AIS information via NMEA0183 or NMEA2000. When connected via NMEA2000 to any NavNet TZtouch2 MFD, DSC calling can be initiated directly from the TZtouch2 MFD by simply tapping on the AIS/DSC target and selecting [DSC Call]. Additionally, when MOB (Man Overboard) is activated on a TZtouch2 MFD, the FM4800 enters a special mode where you can initiate a distress call by simply pushing the rotary knob.

Loud Hailer, Intercom Listen Back Features

The FM4800 can operate as a simplified Loud Hailer with intercom, featuring 8 patterns of alert sounds. Loud Hailer, Fog Horn and Warning Signal features are all available, enhancing onboard safety and communications while navigating in the dark or fog. When connected with the second-station handset, intercom communications are available, allowing communications between the two devices. Additionally, the horn speaker can be used to collect external sounds and transmit them through the built-in speaker with a function called Listen Back. In this way, a person on the deck can easily communicate with the bridge, a particularly useful feature for a variety of fishing vessels and workboats. The Listen Back function can also be an effective tool on sport fishing vessels, allowing the horn speaker to collect the sound from fishing rods and lines when you get a strike.

Features:

  • NMEA2000 Certified VHF, AIS Receiver, 30-Watt Loudhailer, GPS Remote DSC
  • Simplified installation thanks to its pigtail cables "5-in-1" configuration
  • Dual-station operation w/optional HS4800 full-function remote (up to 30 meters)
  • Single NMEA2000 connection for backup GPS/AIS Receiver/Remote DSC
  • Outputs NMEA0183 Position, AIS and DSC data to legacy equipment
  • IP67 waterproof transceiver, microphone, handset (option) speaker (option)
  • Cosmetic match to TZtouch2 for consistent "family" look when flush mounted
  • Multiple mounting options (Desktop, Overhead, Flush Mount)
  • Initiate DSC calls directly from TZtouch2 MFDs (version 6.01 software)

Furuno FM4800 Marine VHF Radio combines Class D DSC, a built-in GPS receiver, AIS reception, and a simplified loudhailer with intercom in a compact marine communication system. Designed for center-console boats, fishing vessels, workboats, and other craft where helm space is limited, the FM4800 provides essential communication, navigation data sharing, and onboard signaling in one integrated unit.


The built-in GPS receiver enables DSC functionality without requiring an external GPS source and can provide backup positioning data to other onboard electronics. The integrated AIS receiver can share target information with compatible networked GPS plotters and multifunction displays, including Furuno NavNet TZtouch, NavNet TZtouch2, GP1871F, and GP1971F combination units. Through NMEA2000 or NMEA0183 connectivity, the FM4800 can share GPS, AIS, and DSC information with connected equipment.


The FM4800 also functions as a simplified loudhailer with intercom, offering Loud Hailer, Fog Horn, Warning Signal, and eight alert sound patterns. When paired with the optional HS4800 second-station handset, it supports communication between stations from up to 30 meters away. Its Listen Back function uses the horn speaker to collect external sounds and transmit them through the built-in speaker, helping bridge personnel communicate with people on deck. This feature can also help sport fishing crews hear sounds from fishing rods and lines when a strike occurs.


Multiple installation options include desktop, overhead, and flush mounting, while the Furuno design coordinates with NavNet TZtouch2, NavPilot 711C, and FI70 Instrument series equipment for a consistent helm appearance. The FM4800 includes pigtail cables in a five-in-one configuration to simplify installation and can initiate DSC calls directly from compatible TZtouch2 multifunction displays running version 6.01 software. This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase. Please contact the manufacturer directly with any issues or concerns.
