Ultrasonic Weather Station and Nav Repeater
Customize the RD30 screen to show
the weather information that is
important to you either numerically
or graphically.
Updated vessel weather information is an essential part of the boating experience. Furuno has
joined forces with Airmar to bring you the Ultimate Weather Station! By combining Furuno’s
popular RD30 Nav Data Repeater with the PB150 Weather Station, you can now display important
weather information in a large, easy-to-read format. As an added bonus, the PB150 has been fitted
with a state-of-the-art Furuno GPS sensor, allowing you to utilize the PB150 as a back-up GPS sensor.
With our Ultimate Weather Station, you have your own personal weatherman on-board the boat 24
hours a day, 7 days a week! (Note: RD30 and PB150 are sold separately.)
