The rolling code changes every 150 ms, more than 6 times per second, on 6 different channels, virtually eliminating any possibility of interference. <\/li><li>Fully proportional 3-axis joystick on TWIST and VECTOR remote controls.<\/li><li>Proportional throttle control (the more you push the joystick, the more power is delivered).<\/li><li>Horn function on EVERY remote control, at no extra cost.<\/li><li>Fully waterproof remote controls that float.<\/li><li>3-year warranty with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee or money back (hardware only).<\/li><li>Fully configurable software allows for fine-tuning of the remote control&#8217;s operation to your boat&#8217;s specificities and your maneuvering habits. Unlike some competing solutions that are only &#8220;plug and play&#8221; and not scalable, Dockmate offers custom adjustment for a truly personalized and optimized experience. <\/li><li>The SINGLE &amp; TWIN remote control models have flush buttons that allow you to discern and use the different functions without having to look at the remote control.<\/li><li>The SINGLE &amp; TWIST remote control models are designed for single-engine vessels (but require 2 thrusters).<\/li><li>VECTOR remote control for Volvo Penta IPS engines and all boats equipped with a fixed joystick. <\/li><li>Dynamic Positioning: if the boat is equipped with Volvo Penta&#8217;s &#8220;Dynamic Positioning&#8221; or &#8220;Sky Hook&#8221; function, this function can be activated or deactivated via the VECTOR remote control.<\/li><li>Redundant &#8220;fail-safe&#8221; technology with multiple relays and code changes several times per second.<\/li><li>Dockmate\u00ae&#8217;s modular design allows functions to be added at any time (for example, if you install another thruster).<\/li><li><p class=\"p1\">Dockmate\u00ae evolves with you. If you change boats, the system can be reconfigured and installed on a new unit, provided it has compatible electronic controls. A sustainable investment, designed to grow with you.  <\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"p1\">SoftDocking is included free with every Dockmate (except Dockmate RED). SoftDocking allows you to reliably and repeatedly engage the engine(s) for a short period (i.e., 0.75s), which must be calibrated to match your boat and driving style. This is a real asset on boats equipped with (very) powerful engines and gearboxes. If idling forward and reverse is already &#8220;too much&#8221; on your boat, you will love SoftDocking.   <\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1602\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1602\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Can I use Dockmate\u00ae in Europe \/ Australia \/ the United States \/ Asia \/ \u2026? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1602\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b83f97 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9b83f97\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71da2c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"71da2c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Dockmate\u00ae system works worldwide.

DockLink\u2122 is a state-of-the-art, infinitely superior bidirectional FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) communication with handshake and GFSK (FM) modulation on the 868 MHz or 433 MHz frequency band (depending on your region) that offers superior range. <\/p><p>Dockmate\u00ae operates in the 868 MHz or 433 MHz FM frequency band. Dockmate\u00ae has 72 communication channels in the 868 MHz band and 64 communication channels in the 433 MHz band. FHSS means that each Dockmate\u00ae uses a unique set of 6 channels (with a minimum spread of 5 channels) across the entire 72 or 64 channel band, then hops from one frequency to another every 160 to 180 ms (approximately 6 times per second). This virtually eliminates any possibility of interference.   <\/p><p>The details above are subject to change, as DockLink\u2122 is regularly improved to optimize wireless communication and to enhance (and even add) features.<\/p><p>Dual-band units use a single channel on 433 MHz and one channel on 868 MHz, transmitting only in one direction with AM modulation. Transmission alternates between the two unique channels, which allows for potential interference and dead spots when walking around your boat. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1605\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1605\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What is the range of the Dockmate<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1605\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5ef102 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b5ef102\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1060fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1060fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The operating range of the Dockmate\u00ae with the standard antenna is approximately 50 m or 165 feet.

The rolling code changes every 150 ms, more than 6 times per second, on 6 different channels, virtually eliminating any possibility of interference. Fully proportional 3-axis joystick on TWIST and VECTOR remote controls.Proportional throttle control (the more you push the joystick, the more power is delivered).Horn function on EVERY remote control, at no extra cost.Fully waterproof remote controls that float.3-year warranty with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee or money back (hardware only).Fully configurable software allows for fine-tuning of the remote control&#8217;s operation to your boat&#8217;s specificities and your maneuvering habits. Unlike some competing solutions that are only &#8220;plug and play&#8221; and not scalable, Dockmate offers custom adjustment for a truly personalized and optimized experience. The SINGLE &amp; TWIN remote control models have flush buttons that allow you to discern and use the different functions without having to look at the remote control.The SINGLE &amp; TWIST remote control models are designed for single-engine vessels (but require 2 thrusters).VECTOR remote control for Volvo Penta IPS engines and all boats equipped with a fixed joystick. Dynamic Positioning: if the boat is equipped with Volvo Penta&#8217;s &#8220;Dynamic Positioning&#8221; or &#8220;Sky Hook&#8221; function, this function can be activated or deactivated via the VECTOR remote control.Redundant &#8220;fail-safe&#8221; technology with multiple relays and code changes several times per second.Dockmate\\u00ae&#8217;s modular design allows functions to be added at any time (for example, if you install another thruster).Dockmate\\u00ae evolves with you. If you change boats, the system can be reconfigured and installed on a new unit, provided it has compatible electronic controls. A sustainable investment, designed to grow with you.  SoftDocking is included free with every Dockmate (except Dockmate RED). SoftDocking allows you to reliably and repeatedly engage the engine(s) for a short period (i.e., 0.75s), which must be calibrated to match your boat and driving style. This is a real asset on boats equipped with (very) powerful engines and gearboxes.

DockLink\\u2122 is a state-of-the-art, infinitely superior bidirectional FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) communication with handshake and GFSK (FM) modulation on the 868 MHz or 433 MHz frequency band (depending on your region) that offers superior range. Dockmate\\u00ae operates in the 868 MHz or 433 MHz FM frequency band. Dockmate\\u00ae has 72 communication channels in the 868 MHz band and 64 communication channels in the 433 MHz band. FHSS means that each Dockmate\\u00ae uses a unique set of 6 channels (with a minimum spread of 5 channels) across the entire 72 or 64 channel band, then hops from one frequency to another every 160 to 180 ms (approximately 6 times per second). This virtually eliminates any possibility of interference.   The details above are subject to change, as DockLink\\u2122 is regularly improved to optimize wireless communication and to enhance (and even add) features.Dual-band units use a single channel on 433 MHz and one channel on 868 MHz, transmitting only in one direction with AM modulation. Transmission alternates between the two unique channels, which allows for potential interference and dead spots when walking around your boat.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the range of the Dockmate\\u00ae?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The operating range of the Dockmate\\u00ae with the standard antenna is approximately 50 m or 165 feet.
