GX6500E/GX6000E
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The STANDARD HORIZON
GX6500E/GX6000E
Marine VHF/FM Marine
transceiver is designed to be used in USA, International, and Canadian Marine
bands. The
GX6500E/GX6000E
can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a
switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.
The
GX6500E/GX6000E
integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identifica
-
tion 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
GX6500E/GX6000E
built-in antenna
jack and receiver enable you to receive AIS signals while receiving a voice chan-
nel signals. The
GX6500E/GX6000E
is also capable of entering and saving up
to 250 waypoints, which may be selected and navigated to by using a unique
navigation compass display. The
GX6500E/GX6000E
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
GX6500E/GX6000E
is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ITU-R
M.493 Class D operation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of
Digital Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a
call. The
GX6500E/GX6000E
operates on all currently-allocated marine chan-
nels which are switchable for use with USA, International, or Canadian regula-
tions. Emergency channel 16 can be immediately selected from any channel
by pressing the red
16/S
key. NOAA weather channel can also be accessed
immediately by pressing the
[WX]
soft key.
