VDES Compatibility for Raymarine VHF Radios – Complete List of Programmable Models

Which Raymarine VHF radios support VDES reprogramming? Complete overview and part numbers.

The table below shows which VHF radios from Raymarine can be programmed in accordance with the VDES changes being introduced globally (starting January 2023 in some countries). VDES (VHF Data Exchange System) is a modern communication system that improves safety and efficiency in maritime navigation through digitalization and e-navigation. VHF radios not listed here are not supported for VDES reprogramming.
