The Raymarine Ray53, model E70524, is a compact VHF marine radio. It has Class D digital selective calling and takes the boat's MMSI number, and an integrated GPS receiver is part of the unit. Output is 25 W on high and 1 W on low. Current draw is listed at 2 A receiving, 600 mA on standby and 6 A on high power. Operating temperature runs from -20 to 60 degrees C.
Our take
The Ray53 pairs a 25 W high setting with a 1 W low setting, so you can pick the output for the call. Class D DSC with an internal GPS receiver sits in the same compact unit, so the position source is built in once the MMSI is programmed.
