PRESS RELEASE
SAILOR 6000 GMDSS SERIES / SMM 2010, 7th - 10th Sept, Hall B6, Stand 333
POWERFUL SAILOR 6300 MF/HF FOR INNOVATIVE NEW SAILOR
GMDSS SERIES
In line with the introduction of the all new SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series, Thrane & Thrane
will unveil a sophisticated new MF/HF radio at SMM 2010. The new SAILOR 6300 MF/HF
builds on previous successful MF/HF systems designed by Thrane & Thrane to meet
GMDSS requirements and offers several enhancements including the implementation of the
all new ThraneLINK solution.
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF features a highly efficient power amplifier with control hardware to
ensure high performance and reliable communication in the marine bands from 1.6 to 30
MHz in TX mode, and ensures constant and full output power on all ITU channels. It is
available in 150W, 250W and 500W versions and features exceptional cooling, which helps
to make it durable, rugged and reliable. The High quality 3.2” QVA graphical display ensures
that the new intuitive and easy to operate menu structure can be read night and day, and a
6W internal loudspeaker provides excellent sound quality and simpler installation.
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF is also the first MF/HF ever to feature message replay
functionality. The SAILOR Replay system enables easy access to recordings of the last 240
seconds of messages, enhancing safety because operators can ensure all messages are
clearly understood by listening to the whole message or sections of it again.
As part of the innovative new Thrane & Thrane SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series, the SAILOR
6300 MF/HF features the unique new ThraneLINK solution. ThraneLINK is a sophisticated,
uniform communication protocol that connects all the SAILOR products in a network, offering
important new opportunities to all vessels. It enables a service technician to access all the
SAILOR products from a single point for fast diagnostics and easy upload of new software.
This results in optimized maintenance and lower cost of ownership because less time is
needed for trouble shooting and general service. Additionally, the sophisticated ThraneLINK
protocol automatically identifies new products in the system, making installation easier. The
uniform protocol is an open standard that provide a future proof solution for all vessels.
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF can communicate with other products in the SAILOR 6000
GMDSS Series. Built in battery and supply voltage monitoring also covers the backup
batteries so there is no need for a battery panel in the GMDSS console. Additionally, instead
of connecting the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF to an external GPS, the GPS input can be taken from
the new SAILOR 6110 mini-C GMDSS via the already connected ThraneLINK. Therefore, no
additional cabling is needed.

The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF is a high-end communications system in its own right, which also
features Thrane & Thrane’s next generation of easy-to-use radiotelex software. It complies
with the requirement for MF/HF DSC Class A, which is part of the mandatory requirements
for SOLAS vessels, and many national GMDSS requirements. It is developed and designed
to meet the needs of professional mariners operating in a wide variety of vessels including
high seas fishing vessels, merchant/offshore ships and workboats.
“For decades the previous SAILOR MF/HF systems have proven to be highly successful in
both the fishing and merchant marine markets, thanks to the combination of being the most
reliable and powerful MF/HF systems available and having straightforward operation via the
simple but efficient user interface,” comments Casper Jensen, VP Maritime Business Unit,
Thrane & Thrane. “The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF builds on this and pushes MF/HF functionality
forward, thanks in part to the expected SAILOR high quality standalone design and because
of the new ThraneLINK system, which makes it a key component of the SAILOR 6000
GMDSS Series.”

6300 MF/HF, the new SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series and the innovative new ThraneLINK
