Communications are handled by two Icom VHF radios, while high-speed connectivity arrives via Starlink. The dedicated satellite TV system centers on a KVH TVG4-HP 18-inch satellite TV dish feeding a Direct TV H-20 satellite receiver through a Spaun SM3403-NF amplified multiswitch, all safeguarded by an APC 350 UPS backup. An IR remote system is wired for the salon and master stateroom, delivering complete electronics with SAT-TV and SAT phone.
