VHF Radio with Loud Hailer

Can any one recommend any VHF set that has a Loud Hailer System.

I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Many Thanks.

Hi Nick
I think that the simrad & raymarine do them.

The Icom 601 has one definitely http://www.icomuk.co.uk

Icom IC601.
Quoted £505 at the boat show + speaker + flush mount kit. Looked an excellent piece of kit.
One of the motor cruisers we run has the Ray Marine VHF set up with the hailer/Fog horn. (Also has a Yelp Siren mode!!!!!!)

I wish I could afford £500+ for a VHF set but that will have to wait until I've saved up my sheckles.

Bought a 601 at the boat show, excellent bit of kit, well worth the money. Yes it has loud-hailer function, and this can be configured to be an automatic fog horn as well!

I had to return my 601 because the dsc would not talk to the coastguard. But I must say thet Icom were very helpful and payed to collect it themselves.

I presume the fix should be in now on new sets but it may be worth trying.
