Standard Horizon GX1700 Fixed Mount VHF & GPS Receiver Radio Standard Horizon

The New GX1700 makes DSC easy. With an internal 12 Channel GPS built into the front panel, there is no need to hassle with wiring the radio to a GPS for DSC. Out of the box and ready to go, DSC calling, position sharing, waypoint navigation, navigation to DSC distress calls can all be performed with just a few simple steps. The GX1700 is also capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navigated to by using a unique navigation compass display which shows your vessels SOG, COG, BRG (Bearing) and DST (Distance) to the waypoint. Mounting a VHF radio has never been easier. The Explorer GX1700 has an ultra thin, compact rear case, only 3.5” in depth or half the depth of comparable VHF radios on the market. The GX1700 easily meets and exceeds all the new Class D DSC regulations. The GX1700S has the ability to accept a RAM3 Remote Access Microphone allowing full control of all radio and DSC functions from a second station. Additional features include oversized full dot matrix display, Programmable Scan, Dual Watch, Ch16 Priority Scan, user customizable channel names, NOAA weather with alert, dedicated preset channel, dedicated CH16/9 keys and three customizable soft keys for easy menu operation. The microphone also has dedicated 16/9 and H/L keys, channel selection keys and uses ClearVoice noise reduction technology which reduces wind and engine noise while transmitting. Key DSC features include the ability to “poll” (request and send) the GPS location of up to 4 vessels and show that vessel’s position on the radio’s display. The GX1700 is backed by an industry leading 3-year waterproof warranty.
