1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX Series GX2200E Marine VHF/FM
Marine transceiver is designed to be used in International, USA, and Cana-
dian Marine bands. The GX2200E can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has
a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.
The GX2200E integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identification
System) receiver to display AIS vessel information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship
Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG) directly on the VHF radio, so you will
know what is out there in any conditions. The GX2200E is also capable of
entering and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navi-
gated to by using a unique navigation compass display. The GX2200E allows
you to contact an AIS ship directly using DSC, show your vessels position
in relation to AIS targets and alert you when an AIS ship may be approach-
ing too close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm.
To receive AIS targets from ships with AIS class A or B transponders, simply
connect the normal VHF antenna (only one antenna needed!).
The GX2200E is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ITU Class D
operation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective
Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The
GX2200E operates on all currently-allocated marine channels which are
switchable for use with International, USA, or Canadian regulations. Emer-
gency channel 16 can be immediately selected from any channel by pressing
the red key.
