The Cortex will change your VHF experience forever. With an intuitive touchscreen handset engineered for durability, the Cortex V1 is a communications hub that integrates strong, clear audio with the power of AIS collision avoidance — plus remote systems monitoring and control from onboard or ashore. This is ideal for larger boats or any boat going offshore.
- VHF - The world's most advanced VHF with multi-station wireless touchscreen handsets
- AIS - Class B SOTDMA smartAIS transponder with an integrated splitter
- Collision Avoidance: Cortex smartAIS continuously monitors AIS information from other boats and calculates crossing situations, generates collision alarms and provides easy-to-understand avoidance cues. Data from its built-in heading sensor is also broadcast, so other vessels can clearly identify which direction your boat is moving.
- One Touch DSC: Cortex lets you initiate DSC direct calls with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel icon on your handset. Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts.
- Anchor Watch: Whether you’re onboard or ashore, you can know for sure your boat is securely anchored. Cortex smartAIS accurately tracks boat movement, heading and bow position, alerting you if your anchor drags.
- Ease Of Use: Cortex handsets are equipped with a click-wheel, ergonomic design and grip enhancing exterior, so you can use the device while keeping one hand on the helm wheel or tiller. They have a touch screen that works in the wet and if you are wearing gloves.
- Dedicated Man Over Board: Can be manually activated by dedicated MOB button on handset, or Via Cortex Onboard Device App on your smartphone or automatically from an AIS MOB beacon which will launch an automatic track back for quick retrieval
- Monitor: Cortex apps let you monitor boat systems, receive alerts and remotely control devices from your compatible smartphone. Using cellular connectivity, you can view twice-daily updates of power, location, wind, depth, bilge, temperature, and more for free with the Cortex Monitor App. To see realtime updates and receive instant alarms, Anchor Watch and Geo fencing features you will need a paid subscription.
- Clear and Loud: The Cortex VHF radio puts out up to 85 dBA of powerful, crystal-clear audio, so you won’t miss critical communications. Alerts are voice prompts that will tell you what the alert is instead of ambiguous alarms. In a potential collision situation the voice prompt will tell you direction of threat so you know quickly where to look.
- Never Miss a Word: Constant squelch control adjustment gives clear listening performance. It is able to monitor all active VHF channels simultaneously, and record them for playback period so you can re listen if you missed critical information
- Horn and Loudspeaker: Easily preset horn signals or talk to the boat through your loudspeaker with the handset or your smart phone using the Cortex Onboard App.
- NMEA 2000 networking allows you to view Cortex data on your connected MFDs and chartplotters.
- The Cortex V1 system includes a Cortex M1 hub and Cortex H1 tethered handset. Connect additional Cortex handsets (sold separately) for even more freedom and control on board
- Current Draw: 12V 6A max, 500mA minimum, capable of 12V or 24V
