The GX1800GW is a Fixed Mount VHF radio with gps capabilities in a sleek white design. It offers easy installation and DSC (Digital Selective Calling) features. With an internal 66 Channel GPS built into the front panel, there is no need for additional wiring to connect the radio to a GPS for DSC functionality. The radio comes ready to use, allowing users to perform DSC calling, position sharing, waypoint navigation, and navigation to DSC distress calls with just a few simple steps.
It is also compatible with Standard Horizon's second station microphone RAM4, model SSM-70. This means that all radio functions, DSC functions, and intercom features between the main radio and the Second Station can be controlled using the RAM4.
The GX1800GW features an Easy to Operate menu system, designed with the user in mind. The menu system is intuitive and allows easy access to all functions and settings, making DSC calling and DSC programming simple and straightforward.
Mounting the GX1800GW is made easy with its ultra-compact and slim design. The rear case is only 3.3″ in depth, which is half the depth of other VHF radios in the market. This compact design allows for flexibility in flush mounting the radio in tight areas or bracket mounting the radio, taking up less dash space and providing more mounting options.
