MD68HR LARGE DUAL SCALE STEERING REPEATER DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION
The MD68HR is a dual-scale NMEA-based Steering Repeater. Digitalheading data may be displayed and monitored at any location on a vessel. The inner dial has a resolution of one tenth of a degree. When multiple heading sources are available in the heading data (e.g.True and Magnetic), the MD68HR allows the user to select the heading source and indicates which heading source is in current use. Compact and rugged, the MD68HR offers a heading repeater solution for locations where the available space is limited and may be either bulkhead or panel mounted. Finished in jet black to complement other marine navigation equipment.
The MD68HR from Marine Data: flexible in application, easy to installand simple to maintain.
