GX2200
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX Series
GX2200
Marine VHF/FM Marine
transceiver is designed to be used in USA, International, and Canadian
Marine bands. The
GX2200
can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a
switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.
The
GX2200
integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identification System)
receiver to display AIS vessel information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name,
BRG, DST, SOG and COG) directly on the VHF radio, so you will know
what is out there in any conditions. The
GX2200
is also capable of entering
and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navigated to
by using a unique navigation compass display. The
GX2200
allows you to
contact an AIS ship directly using DSC, show your vessels position in relation
to AIS targets and alert you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close
to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm. To receive
AIS targets from ships with AIS class A or B transponders, simply connect
the normal VHF antenna (only one antenna needed!).
The
GX2200
is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ITU Class D oper-
ation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Call-
ing functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The
GX2200
operates on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switchable for
use with USA, International, or Canadian regulations. Emergency channel 16
can be immediately selected from any channel by pressing the red
9
16
key.
NOAA weather channel can also be accessed immediately by pressing and
holding the
CLR
WX
key.

speaker microphone, 30W PA/Fog, optional
RAM3
second station remote-
control microphone with AIS display, intercom between radio and optional
