No, this listing is for the handset unit only. You will need to source or reuse your existing connecting cable to integrate it into your system.
The handset is in good physical condition, showing normal signs of wear consistent with its use in a marine environment. It has been inspected to ensure it remains a viable replacement for your existing setup.
Because this is a pre-owned component removed during a vessel refit, it is sold without a warranty. We recommend this item for users who need a direct replacement for a damaged or non-functioning RS8110 handset.
No, this is a handset accessory, not a complete radio. It must be connected to a functional Simrad RS8100 base unit to operate as a marine VHF radio.
