Thrane & Thrane is launching the first three products of the SAILOR SP3500 series.
The three portable VHFs to be launched are the SAILOR SP3510, SAILOR SP3515 and the SAILOR SP3520 VHF GMDSS.
“Thanks to strong features, high quality and very attractive prices, this series will be highly attractive to all maritime customers,” says Jens Fabricius, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing at Thrane & Thrane.
The SAILOR SP3510 and SAILOR SP3515 have been developed to offer the professional user an ideal portable VHF for onboard communication, while the SAILOR SP3520 is a portable VHF approved for GMDSS. All three VHFs build on the strong reputation of the SAILOR brand of being reliable, powerful and very user-friendly, developed for the harsh environment at sea, whether on board a large merchant vessel or a small fishing vessel.
The SAILOR SP3500 series offers unique user-friendly design and features. The large tactile buttons can easily be operated with gloves without unintended activation of buttons. A ribbed design ensures a solid grip even in wet conditions. All SAILOR SP3500 VHFs are waterproof. The large display with red backlight makes it very easy to read even at night and a powerful loudspeaker ensures high voice quality even in noisy environments. To make the SAILOR SP3500 series even more useful, the SP3500 series offers interface to headsets and other accessories from Peltor and SAVOX.
Fabricius says: “With the SAILOR SP3500 series Thrane & Thrane offers a unique well-designed and innovative portable solution that will be highly attractive to all maritime customers. With the launch of the SAILOR SP3500 Thrane & Thrane aims to become the leading supplier of portable radios in the maritime market, offering strong features and high quality – at very attractive prices. There is no doubt that the SAILOR SP3500 series will strengthen Thrane & Thrane’s position as the world’s leading manufacturer of maritime communication equipment.”
The SAILOR SP3500 series offers all features that can be expected from a professional portable radio as well as accessories. For users who require a private conversation over the VHF, the SP3515 even offers a scrambling feature. The SP3510 and SP3515 have all international, US, Canadian and BI-channel tables programmed for the user to select from, together with all other features.
Thrane & Thrane’s technology, combined with intensive research among users, has resulted in a unique design that suits the professional user requiring a reliable and easy to use portable radio which can be expected in the market in the second quarter of 2007.
