Standard Horizon Fixed Mount VHF with GPS – White – GX1400GW

The Standard Horizon Fixed Mount VHF with gps in white, model GX1400GW, is equipped with easy DSC installation. It has an internal 66 Channel GPS built into the front panel, eliminating the need for wiring the radio to a separate GPS for DSC functionality. With just a few simple steps, you can perform DSC calling, share your position, engage in waypoint navigation, and navigate to DSC distress calls.

This VHF radio belongs to the ITU-R M493-13 Class D class and features a separate Channel 70 receiver, allowing you to receive DSC calls even while listening to other communications. In case of distress, the DSC DISTRESS function sends a digital MAYDAY signal that includes vessel identification, Latitude / Longitude, and time (with GPS connected) to ensure a prompt response. Additionally, you can make individual, urgency, safety, position report, and send calls.

The GX1400GW is equipped with a high resolution dot matrix display that facilitates navigation through its many features. The display has been updated with a brighter backlight for better contrast. The radio's menu system has been redesigned to be more intuitive, making DSC calling and programming easier than ever.

For added convenience, this radio comes with a 3-year waterproof warranty. If the radio fails due to any reason during normal use within the first 3 years of ownership, STANDARD HORIZON will repair or replace it free of charge. If a failure occurs after that period, the radio is still covered by STANDARD Horizon's Lifetime Flat Rate and Customer Loyalty Service Programs for as long as the original purchaser owns it.
