PRE OWNED FURUNO IC-115 FURUNO IC-115 MARINE ANTENA

I apologize for the frustration. I see what is happening: when I use bullet points (the little dots *), some website editors "strip" that formatting and pull all the text together into one big paragraph.

To fix this once and for all for your "copy and paste" needs, I will stop using bullet points. Instead, I will use simple dashes and extra line breaks. This is the most "web-safe" way to ensure your description stays organized.

Here is the FELCOM 15 IC-115 again in the safest plain-text format:

FURUNO IC-115 ANTENNA UNIT (FOR FELCOM 15)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Furuno IC-115 is a robust, high-performance antenna unit designed for the Inmarsat-C satellite network. As the outdoor component of the FELCOM 15 system, it provides high-quality, two-way data and telex links between vessels at sea and shore-based stations.

The IC-115 is an omni-directional "Daisy" type antenna, meaning it does not require a complex tracking mechanism to maintain a satellite lock, making it exceptionally reliable in heavy seas. Encased in a weather-resistant radome, it is built to withstand extreme maritime conditions, including high winds, salt spray, and ice.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Maintenance-Free Design: With no moving parts inside the radome, the IC-115 eliminates the mechanical failures common in larger tracking antennas.

-- GMDSS Compliance: When paired with the FELCOM 15 terminal, it meets full SOLAS/GMDSS requirements for safety and distress alerting.

-- Global Messaging: Supports all Inmarsat-C services including E-mail, Telex, EGC (SafetyNET/FleetNET), and Data Reporting/Polling.

-- Compact & Lightweight: Its small footprint allows for flexible installation on mast-tops or radar arches without adding significant wind load.

-- Easy Interfacing: Connects to the IC-215 processor unit via a single coaxial cable.

-- High-Impact Radome: The UV-stabilized housing protects the internal helical element from the corrosive marine environment.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

In the Bhavnagar refurbishing yards, the IC-115 is a high-demand item. Used units are carefully inspected for any cracks in the radome or corrosion at the connector base. Refurbished units are tested for "Loop-back" signal strength to ensure the internal LNA and SSPA are performing within factory gain specifications.
