BG V100 VHF Black Box Radio

V100 Black Box VHF Radio (000-15644-001)

Enhance your marine communications and safety with the B&G V100 Black Box VHF Radio — a powerful, modular, multi-station system designed for serious boaters. Whether cruising, racing, or voyaging offshore, this radio gives you flexibility, integration, and robust features.

The B&G V100 is a black box–style VHF radio (model 000-15644-001) that separates the radio core (NRS-1) from the user interface, allowing you to place handsets and speakers anywhere on board. This setup reduces clutter at the helm and enables expansion into a full-boat communication system. The unit is Class D DSC–approved, includes a built-in GPS receiver, and supports seamless integration via NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000. With optional wireless handsets, external speakers, and intercom-like features, the V100 becomes more than a radio — it becomes your ship’s communication backbone
