With the new Raymarine SR50 SIRIUS Satellite Weather and Audio Receiver, C-Series owners now have access to a wide range of advanced forecast information, including the WSI NOWRad" weather radar, storm tracks, sea surface temperature, wind, surface pressure, wave heights, lightning and much more. In addition, the SR50 allows boaters to tune into over 130 channels of SIRIUS Satellite Radio directly from their C-Series display, providing access to 100% commercial-free music as well as a wide range of sports, news, comedy and talk programming.
ÏWeÌre excited to expand our offerings with Raymarine and provide C-Series owners with access to our popular SIRIUS Marine Weather service,Ó said Larry Pesce, Senior Vice President of Services for SIRIUS. ÏNow even more boaters will be able to enjoy high quality and comprehensive satellite weather information while listening to SIRIUS, The Best Radio on Radio.Ó
The new SR50 receiver includes an audio output cable to link to onboard stereo systems, and connects to RaymarineÌs C-Series displays using the SeaTalkNG interface. RaymarineÌs powerful C-Series Multifunction Navigation Display allows captains to view and animate SIRIUS weather forecasts in a full screen or within a window alongside radar, chartplotter and fishfinder functions.
ÏWeÌre excited to bring this award-winning technology to a wider audience with the launch of our SR50,Ó said Terry Carlson, president of Raymarine. ÏThis is yet another example of RaymarineÌs ability to integrate valuable consumer technologies into boating equipment.Ó
Available for purchase in the U.S., SIRIUS Marine Weather Service coverage includes the 48 contiguous states, most of Canada, Mexico and waters extending hundreds of miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. A monthly SIRIUS Marine Weather subscription is required to receive forecasts onboard.
The SR50 weather receiver module for Raymarine C-Series is expected to be available in March 2007. In addition, a software upgrade will be available later in 2007 for owners of the SR100 receiver, a 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovation Honoree, allowing access to entertainment programming from SIRIUS radio via RaymarineÌs E-Series displays.
