The Standard Horizon GX1850B Fixed-Mount VHF Marine Radio is a compact, powerful, and modern communication system built for boaters who value safety, reliability, and smart connectivity at sea. With 25 watts of output power, full Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC), and NMEA 2000 compatibility, it delivers everything you need for clear, compliant, and connected communication offshore or near the coast.
Designed with a super-slim rear body (only 82 mm deep), the GX1850B fits neatly on any helm or console, even in smaller boats or tight installations. Its waterproof housing (IPX8-rated) and rugged construction ensure dependable operation in harsh marine environments.
The intuitive E2O (Easy to Operate) menu system lets you access all key features quickly, including GPS position display, channel scanning, intercom functionality, and one-touch DSC distress calling. When connected to your boat’s GPS via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183, the radio automatically displays waypoints, speed, course, and bearing, while the dedicated CH70 DSC receiver constantly monitors distress channels — even while you’re talking.
