MD77HR DIAL COMPASS REPEATER DISPLAY

DESCRIPTION

The MD77HR is a NMEA-based Compact Heading Repeater. Digital heading data (ship’s heading) may be conveniently displayed and monitored at any location on a vessel. When multiple heading sources are available in the heading data (e.g. True and Magnetic) the MD77HR allows the user to select the heading source and indicates which heading source is in current use. Compact and rugged, the MD77HR 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 MD77HR from Marine Data: flexible in application, easy to install and simple to maintain.
