Experience reliable marine communications with the GX1850 Fixed Mount VHF from Standard Horizon—an ultra‑compact, feature‑rich radio designed for seamless NMEA 2000 integration, intuitive operation, and rugged reliability on the water.
Seamless NMEA 2000 Connectivity
Designed for modern vessels, the GX1850 is NMEA 2000 compatible and offers easy plug‑and‑play connectivity to the NMEA bus. A single interface carries GPS data and DSC calls between compatible devices, simplifying networked navigation and distress signaling. It also supports NMEA 0183 connectivity and features a separate receiver for CH70 DSC calls.
Second Station RAM4 Compatibility
Now you can expand control with Standard Horizon’s RAM4 second station microphone (SSM‑70). All functions on the main radio—including radio, DSC, and intercom—can be controlled from the RAM4, delivering hands‑free operation and seamless inter‑unit communication between the main unit and the second station.
E2O Easy to Operate Menu System
The redesigned E2O (Easy to Operate) interface makes setup and daily use intuitive. Access all menu functions with just a few steps, and enjoy simplified DSC calling and programming for faster, more reliable communication on the fly.
Ultra‑Compact, Easy Installation
Engineered for tight spaces, the Explorer Series rear case is ultra slim with a depth of 3.3" (82 mm). This compact design enables flush mounting in limited dash space or bracket mounting, freeing up cockpit real estate without compromising performance.
Rugged Warranty & Reliability
With a 3‑year waterproof warranty, Standard Horizon stands behind the GX1850. If it fails under normal use within the initial three years, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge. Afterward, benefit from the brand’s Lifetime Flat Rate and Customer Loyalty programs for continued peace of mind.
