GX600D Class D VHF Marine Radio

Standard equipment on the GX600D is a full function keypad microphone with an extremely simple ‘mobile phone style’ operating system, ensuring operators of every skill level can access the full benefit of the radio’s extensive feature list.

In many world areas, Europe and the USA in particular, all fixed mount VHF radios now are required to include a basic DSC capability. The GME GX600D, 25 Watt Class D DSC VHF marine radio however, when interfaced with a GPS receiver will be able to transmit crucial vessel information, including position and the nature of the distress call whether it be fire, flooding, collision, grounding, capsize, sinking, adrift, abandoning, piracy or man overboard.

In an emergency, one push of the “red button” will send an automated digital distress alert containing your position and Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number to rescue facilities and other DSC-equipped vessels in the area. The GX600D comes complete with a second receiver so both voice and data are monitored independently ensuring the user will never miss a DSC call.

The GX600D class D DSC radio also provides boaters with a valuable range of non-emergency capabilities, permitting communication with another boat or group of boats using individual or group MMSI numbers. If interfaced to a GPS equipped chart plotter the radio can send, receive and display each vessel’s position as well.

The GME GX600D, designed and manufactured in Australia, has been styled to complement GME’s expanding range of marine products.

The GX600D has the added advantage that a Second station can be added. The RM600D is a remote station that when connected to the GX600D via the supplied 5mtr connecting cable, (additional 5mtr extension cables are available) will replicate all the functions of the GX600D. This offers a simple solution when a second station in a cockpit or fly bridge is required
