Operational communication
Designed to fulfil GMDSS requirements for professional mariners operating various types of vessels, the SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC is a robust and high-performance communication system engineered for reliable operation in demanding maritime environments.
The radio complies with the latest ITU-R M.493-13 standard for MF/HF DSC Class A equipment, meeting the mandatory communication requirements applicable to SOLAS vessels as well as numerous national regulations governing the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
Highly efficient
The SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC is equipped with a highly efficient power amplifier and advanced control electronics, delivering reliable performance throughout the marine frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz in transmission mode. The system maintains stable and full output power across all designated ITU channels, ensuring dependable communication under a wide range of operating conditions.
To support critical safety and operational communications, the radio incorporates an advanced cooling system that enhances its durability and long-term reliability. Its rugged construction and dependable performance make the SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC a robust communication solution for demanding maritime applications.
A clear view
The SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC features an advanced 3.2-inch QVA display that provides excellent readability in all lighting conditions. For improved visibility, users can select either white text on a black background or black text on a white background, while the integrated red backlighting helps preserve night vision during low-light operations.
The intuitive user interface is designed to minimize operator workload and simplify everyday use. Thanks to the clear display, large tactile buttons, and ergonomic control knobs, navigating the menu system is straightforward and efficient, allowing the radio to be operated comfortably both day and night.
Play it again
The SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC is the first MF/HF radio in its class to incorporate the innovative SAILOR Replay function, which automatically stores the most recent incoming communications and allows them to be replayed whenever required.
This feature enables operators to review and verify important messages that may have been missed while attending to other duties. By reducing the risk of lost, overlooked, or misunderstood communications, the Replay function enhances both onboard safety and operational efficiency, ensuring that critical information is always available when needed.
Multimedia interface
The SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC is operated through the SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal, the world's first Wheelmarked GMDSS terminal featuring a touchscreen interface. The system also incorporates the latest generation of intuitive radiotelex software developed by Cobham SATCOM, further enhancing communication efficiency and ease of use.
Its modern, multimedia-inspired user interface provides straightforward access to the radio's communication and messaging functions. Designed with user convenience in mind, the terminal simplifies operation and reduces operator workload, enabling efficient and reliable communication in demanding maritime environments.
Efficient communication
As a member of the SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series, the SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC incorporates ThraneLINK, an advanced networking platform designed to facilitate efficient communication and seamless integration between onboard systems.
Through a single point of access, service engineers can monitor and manage the vessel's communication network, reducing maintenance requirements and lowering overall lifecycle costs. The system also automatically detects newly connected equipment, simplifying installation procedures and enabling faster and more efficient system expansion.
Further integration
The SAILOR 6311 MF/HF – 150W FCC incorporates integrated monitoring of both the primary power supply and backup batteries, eliminating the need for separate battery supervision equipment. Furthermore, the system does not require an external GPS receiver, simplifying installation and reducing overall system complexity.
By removing the need for a dedicated battery panel within the GMDSS console, operators can save both time and installation costs. GPS data can be obtained directly from the SAILOR 6110 mini-C GMDSS via the existing ThraneLINK connection, eliminating the requirement for additional cabling and enabling a cleaner, more efficient system integration.
