GPS POSITION ON A VHF RADIO
STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on VHF radios.
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to show the coordinates of a vessel that has
transmitted a DSC Distress Call or even Polled the location of another vessel and shows
the position of that vessel on the display of STANDARD HORIZON VHFs. STANDARD
HORIZON has taken this feature one step further. If a CPF180i or CPF300i is connected
to a DSC capable VHF, the vessel in Distress or the Polled position of the vessel is shown
on the display of the GPS Chart Plotter, making it easy to navigate to the location of the
vessel. This is a great feature that could save someone's life or for anyone wanting to know
the position of another vessel.
