Easy installation
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
gives flexibility when flush mounting the radio in tight areas or bracket
mounting the radio by taking up less dash space, and allowing more mounting
options.
ITU-R M493-11 Class D Digital Selective Calling
The EXPLORER is a
ITU-R M493 Class D class VHF with a separate Channel 70 receiver, which allows
DSC calls to be received even when listening to communications.
The DSC
DISTRESS function when activated transmits a digital MAYDAY including vessel
identification, Latitude / Longitude and time (with GPS connected), to
facilitate prompt response. Additional calls that can be made are Individual,
Urgency, Safety, Position Report and Send.
Additional features include
DSC test call and menu selection for Auto DSC channel switching.
RAM3 second station mic capable
Need to remotely control the VHF
from your cockpit of fly bridge? The EXPLORER is RAM3 remote mic capable to
control all VHF, DSC functions at a second station.
Big, bold display
There is no question about it. With a big, bold
display there is no mistaking the information. The contrast and brightness can
be adjusted for situations where the radio cannot be mounted directly in front
of you.
Programmable Scan, Priority Scan and Dual Watch
Scanning is not an
issue with the EXPLORER. The radio can be setup to scan any number of channels
with or without a Channel 16 as the priority channel or simply can be setup to
scan between a priority channel and one other channel (dual watch).
Clearvoice noise reduction technology
The EXPLORER features Clear
Voice Noise Reduction Technology eliminating unwanted background noises like
engines and wind during transmission. This assures transmissions are crystal
clear along with dedicated 16/9, H/L keys and channel selection.
Navigate to Waypoints
The EXPLORER is capable of entering and
saving up to 100 waypoints. These waypoints may be selected and navigated to by
using a unique navigation compass display that shows your vessels SOG, COG, BRG
(Bearing) and DST (Distance) to the waypoint when connected to an external GPS.
DSC Position Polling and NMEA in/output
Easily share position
information with other DSC equipped vessels using the position request and
position reporting functions. With the push of a few buttons you can request the
position of another vessel, or simply send your position information to the
vessel you select.
The GPS Position of a received DSC Distress or
Position Request call can be shown on a compatible GPS Chart plotter simply by
connecting 2 NMEA wires.
In addition, the EXPLORER may be setup to
automatically poll the GPS position of up to 4 stations.
Programmable Channel Names
The MATRIX AIS is supplied from the
factory preloaded with description of the use of Marine channels (16-Distress,
22A-USCG, 71-Pleasure...). The channel names may be customized by the user to
easily understand the use of each channel.
GPS repeating
By connecting a GPS to the EXPLORER; Position, date,
and time are also displayed when interfaced with a GPS receiver.
NOAA Weather channels and Weather Alert
10 NOAA and Canadian
Weather channels are pre-programmed and easily selectable using the dedicated WX
key. In addition, the EXPLORER can be set to monitor WX channels and provide an
audible alert to inform of pending storm advisories.
3-Year waterproof warranty

(including water damage) during normal use for the first 3 years of ownership,
STANDARD HORIZON will repair or replace it free, without hassles or charges. If
it fails for anytime thereafter in normal use, for as long as the original
