1.1 Introduction

The Simrad waterproof handheld VHF range comprises three

models:

• The HT50 VHF radio is designed for leisure and light com-

mercial use, and meets or exceeds stringent International

Regulations EN301-178.

• The HT51 model has all the features of the HT50, but

includes an accessory socket for use with fistmikes, headsets,

and other third party accessories.

• The HT53 model is designed with a high-strength connec-

tor for users who have rigorous demands of their radios. The

features, functionality, and operation of the HT53 are identi-

cal to the HT50.

• The Axis 50 model for GMDSS convention vessels con-

forms to Pan European specification ETS300-225 for the use

of radios for Safety at Sea.

All models are waterproof to IP67 standard.

Please note that regulations vary from country to country.

Simrad sets are approved specifically by the countries in which

they are sold. Consequently, there may be differences in the

programming of sets bought in different countries and, there-

fore, in their associated manuals. If using the radio outside the

country of purchase, it is vital to check that the set conforms to

local regulations before use.
