NEW MODEL - Standard Horizon GX2100E DSC Radio with Intergral AIS Receiver - Black
The GX2100E has its own built-in dual channel AIS receiver. Pleasure boats operating near commercial ports or busy shipping lanes will find this system invaluable.
The GX2100E is able to display AIS targets in a radar style format, on the large 1.8” LCD display of the radio. Determination of bearing and range can be made from viewing the screen. Detailed additional data received from the AIS targets that include an MMSI number may also be displayed on the screen. An automatic DSC call can be made to a specific AIS vessel by simply selecting the target and pressing the call button without the need to type in the vessel’s MMSI number.
The AIS target display gives the MMSI, call sign, ship name, bearing (BRG), distance (DST), speed over the ground (SOG) and course over the ground (COG). There is also a Closest Point of Approach (CPA) alarm, if a target vessel strays too near.
Another versatile feature is the ability to ‘poll’ another vessel for its position. This is shown as lat/long on the radio’s screen, or can be sent to a compatible chart plotter display as well. AIS target information can also be sent to the chart plotter via an NMEA connection. Polling is used for vessels that wish to keep abreast of each other’s location, such as a cruising flotilla, or a group of fishing boats.
When connected to an external GPS, the GX2100E is capable of storing up to 100 waypoints, which can be selected and navigated to by using a unique compass display. The display will also give all the usual GPS information about speed, course and bearing to a waypoint.
The Standard Horizon GX2100E is remarkably compact, and yet provide a generous and easy-to-read display, a substantial rotary channel selection knob and a powerful 30 Watt PA/loud hailer that is pre-programmed with fog signals. There is no need to install a separate VHF antenna for the AIS as the GX2100E’s internal AIS receiver uses the radio’s VHF antenna.
Housed in a die-cast chassis for strength and durability, the GX2100E also features 4.5-Watt audio output, a ClearVoice noise cancelling speaker microphone, Programmable Scan, Priority Scan and Dual Watch. There is also a function for user-changeable channel names, and an optional voice scrambler.
The GX2100E also supports the CMP30 remote access microphone, which provides complete control of the radio, including the waypoint and AIS functions as well as displaying AIS target data on the screen. The CMP30 essentially provides two separate VHF DSC stations aboard, it also doubles as an intercom between the two stations.
