Standard Horizon GX1600W Fixed Mount VHF & GPS Receiver Radio Standard Horizon

Mounting a VHF radio has never been easier. The Explorer GX1600 has an ultra thin, compact rear case, only 3.5” in depth or half the depth of comparable VHF radios on the market. The rear case design also grants flexibility when flush mounting the radio in tight areas or saves dash space when bracket mounted, allowing you more freedom when choosing a location to mount your radio.. The GX1600 has been designed to meet the NEW ITU-R M493-13 Class D DSC regulations with a dedicated channel 70 receiver that continuously watches for DSC calls. The GX1600S 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. Another unique feature of the GX1600 is the ability to “poll” (request and send) the GPS location of another vessel and show that vessel’s position on the radio’s display. Connecting a compatible GPS chart plotter will allow the GX1600 to repeat your position, SOG, COG and time on the full dot matrix display. The GX1600 is backed by an industry leading 3-year waterproof warranty.
