The Garmin VHF 315 is a 25-watt marine radio with Class D DSC and a built-in GPS receiver, which needs an external antenna. High power output is 23 to 25 W and low power is 0.7 to 1 W. It is rated IPX7 and runs on 9.6 to 16 Vdc. It comes with a GHS 11 handset and an active speaker, giving an intercom between up to 3 stations. It also has a two-way 30-watt hailer system, and connects to compatible chartplotters over NMEA 2000.
Our take
The VHF 315 comes with the GHS 11 handset and an active speaker that links up to 3 stations as an intercom, and its 30-watt hailer adds a way to reach people on deck or on nearby boats. One radio can serve the helm and remote stations.
