1. Introduction
The new handheld marine transceiver Atlantic XT is able to satisfy communication requirements
for all types of navigation whether professional or hobbyist. Atlantic XT is robust, electronically
advanced and enables clear and reliable communications on the VHF nautical band for all
international channels assigned by ITU.
It offers security for all navigational requirements thanks also to a dedicated button that gives
instant access the emergency channel N.16.
Atlantic XT, which boasts 56 channels and outputs 5W transmission power, is made up of
components specifically designed for this type of equipment. Its water resistant protection enables
safe use also in wet conditions.
Atlantic XT is particularly straightforward to use and guaranties best performance in all situations,
thanks also to the keypad lock that prevents accidental pushing of buttons while handling the
device. A LCD back lit display enables its use in darkness or poor visibility.
In short: Atlantic XT is easy to use and it offers total security!
Main features:
• PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer circuit - for precise and stable channel selection.
• Back-lit LCD display - constantly displays radio’s parameters and settings. The backlighting
enables you to view the screen when there is little environmental light.

background noise and reduces the battery drain.
• Recall button for Channel 16 - for instant access to channel 16 (the most used marine
channel mainly used for emergency contact).

• High/low power selection - reduces transmission power in short-distance communication,
allowing the radio to save energy and reducing the risk of interference.
• Keypad lock - locks the transceiver keypad to avoid the accidental activation of buttons or
settings.

• Sockets for speaker and microphone - these sockets enable the use of various external
microphone optional accessories (headphone, microphone/speaker, etc), for a more
comfortable use, particularly in noisy environments.
