Standard Horizon GX1850 Fixed Mount VHF Radio in Black

The Standard Horizon GX1850 Fixed Mount VHF Radio in black combines Class D DSC communications with NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity in a compact fixed-mount chassis. Its shallow rear case is designed to fit installations where dash depth is limited, making it easier to add a full-featured VHF without consuming unnecessary space behind the helm.

NMEA 2000 provides straightforward connection to a compatible vessel network for supported GPS data and DSC functions. The radio is also compatible with the optional RAM4 SSM-70 second-station microphone, which can extend radio, DSC, and intercom control to another location aboard the boat.

Standard Horizon's Easy to Operate menu system is designed to reduce the number of steps needed to reach common settings and DSC functions. The combination of network integration, second-station capability, compact mounting depth, and a simplified control structure makes the GX1850 a practical choice for new installations and VHF upgrades.

Key Features

• Adds VHF to a connected helm: NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support allow the radio to exchange compatible navigation and DSC information with other onboard electronics.
• Full radio control from a second location: Compatibility with the optional RAM4 second-station microphone can extend radio, DSC, and intercom functions beyond the main helm.
• Easier fit behind crowded dashboards: The shallow rear case reduces the depth required behind the panel, which can make flush or bracket mounting easier in tight helm spaces.
• Simpler access to everyday functions: The redesigned menu system is organized to make common radio settings and DSC operations easier to reach without excessive menu navigation.
