MD68HR Large Dual Scale Steering Repeater Display

The MD68HR is a compact Steering Repeater featuring a 164mm dual-scale compass dial that offers precision reading to one-tenth of a degree and includes intuitive touch panel controls.

OVERVIEW

The MD68HR is an advanced dual-scale Steering Repeater based on NMEA standards. It allows for the digital display and monitoring of heading data at any position on a vessel, with an impressive inner dial resolution of one-tenth of a degree.

When multiple heading sources (such as True and Magnetic) are present, the MD68HR enables users to select their desired heading source and clearly displays which source is currently active.

Designed to be compact and durable, the MD68HR serves as a heading repeater solution for environments with limited space and can be installed as either bulkhead or panel mount. It features a sleek Jet Black (RAL9005) fine-texture powder coat finish that matches well with other marine navigation systems.

What is a Steering Repeater?

A Steering Repeater ensures clear heading information through both a 360° and a 10° compass card. It features indicators for True and Magnetic headings, providing a straightforward understanding of the currently selected heading source. The compass cards are graduated to one-tenth of a degree for precise navigation.
