The Standard Horizon GX6000 Quantum is a 25W commercial grade fixed mount VHF radio that comes with NMEA 2000 interface and integrated AIS receiver. It offers plug and play functionality with NMEA 2000, supporting all PGN's for navigation, gps, AIS, and DSC functions. You can easily connect it to your existing network to enhance your system with full VHF and DSC features.
One of the key features of this radio is its wireless second station RAM4W capability. With the RAM4W wireless remote access microphone, you can control all radio functions of the GX6000 wirelessly. The SCU-30 wireless access point allows you to sync up to 4 RAM4W units, and the operating range is up to 65 feet. The RAM4W enables you to control DSC calling, position polling, group calling, intercom between the main station and other wireless RAM4W units, and more.
The GX6000 also has a built-in AIS receiver. It displays AIS target information such as MMSI, call sign, ship name, bearing, distance, speed over ground, and course over ground on its large front panel display. This information allows you to contact an AIS ship directly using DSC, shows your vessel's position in relation to AIS targets, and alerts you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close to your location through the closest point of approach (CPA) alarm.
Another useful feature is the integrated 25W PA/loud hailer. It comes with fog signals, bells, and whistles with listen back functionality. When in the PA or fog modes, you can hear the last selected VHF channel. The AIS display can be accessed and used simultaneously. Additionally, the GX6000 has an integrated voice scrambler with 32 codes for private communications. It is compatible with all Standard Horizon 4 code scramblers already in use.
Other notable features of the GX6000 Quantum include NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 compatibility, programmable collision avoidance alarms, dual-zone 25W PA/loud hailer with preprogrammed fog signals and listen back, GPS compass, waypoint, and GPS status pages, easy-to-operate menu system, oversized rotary channel knob with push to enter functionality, front panel microphone that can be connected to the rear panel and extended up to 20 feet using the MEK-4 mic extension kit, the capability to connect two optional RAM4 or four wireless RAM4W units, integrated voice recorder to play back up to two minutes of RX receive audio, and an advanced 80dB commercial-grade receiver with a local/distance attenuator.
The dimensions of the GX6000 Quantum are 6.9″ x 3.54″, and it comes with a 3-year waterproof warranty.
