Imagine maneuvering your boat through choppy waters or coordinating with crew from the flybridge while keeping full control of your VHF communications. The Garmin GHS 11 wired VHF handset steps in as your reliable remote command center, designed specifically for seamless integration with compatible Garmin VHF radios like the VHF 210. This isn't just an extension—it's a smart extension that mirrors the main unit's controls, ensuring you never miss a critical call on the water.

Effortless Control Where You Need It Most

Crafted for marine environments, the GHS 11 brings the power of your VHF radio to any station on board. Its intuitive layout features a rotary push-knob for quick adjustments to volume, squelch, and channel scanning, plus dedicated soft keys and a prominent 16/9 button for instant access to distress and calling channels. Boaters appreciate how every button and dial echoes the familiar feel of the primary radio, slashing the learning curve during high-stakes moments.

The coiled handset cable extends from a compact 1 foot when stowed to nearly 5 feet for comfortable reach, while a separate 10-meter deck cable offers flexible routing to your preferred location—be it the helm, cabin, or deck. This setup shines in multi-station boats, letting the skipper monitor hails from afar without tying up the main unit.

Rugged Build Meets Everyday Reliability

Built to withstand the marine world's demands, the GHS 11 boasts an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can handle submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Its backlit 2-inch dot matrix LCD display ensures readability in low light or glare, supporting multiple languages including English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish for global crews.

Intercom functionality adds another layer of utility: pair it with an external speaker for clear crew-to-crew chatter without switching channels. At just 0.7 pounds and compact dimensions (2.7 x 6.1 x 1.6 inches), it mounts discreetly with included hardware and a mic hanger, keeping your space organized.
