Standard Horizon Matrix GX1280S DCS
Radio
Enhanced RAM+ capable
The MATRIX
has the capability of being connected to the Enhanced full-function Remote
Access Microphone (RAM+ Mic). This advance remote operates as a full second
station to the MATRIX at the fly bridge, cockpit, tower or location of your
choice. The submersible RAM+ has a huge channel display, speaker microphone that
allows the user to remotely control all VHF radio functions, Digital Selective
Calling functions and can show channel names and repeat GPS
information.
Full Digital Selective Calling
The most
important reason to have a VHF radio on board your vessel is safety. The MATRIX
meets the internationally recognized requirements for RTCM SC-101 Digital
Selective Calling. In an emergency the MATRIX is capable of transmitting and
automated Digital MAYDAY transmission that includes GPS position and Date and
time (when connected to GPS). The MATRIX also can transmit and receive DSC
Urgency, Safety, Group and Individual calls.
DSC Polling
STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered the capability to poll (request and send) the
GPS location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on the VHF's
display. Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any
Standard Horizon GPS is connected to the MATRIX 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 polled vessel. This is a great feature for
anyone wanting to know the position of anther vessel for example you buddy that
is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising
with.
NOAA WX Alert, DW, Scanning and more
The MATRIX has
the capability to warn you of impeding severe weather by audibly alerting you to
switch to the active weather channel. Want to monitor more than one channel? The
MATRIX can be programmed to scan any number or combination of channels with or
without priority channel. Want to scan between one channel and CH16, you can
using the Dual Watch function. Changing channels and operating the DSC functions
is made easy with the oversized channel selector knob and alpha-numeric
display.
Built Better, backed better
Because the MATRIX
is built better it’s backed better. If the STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX fails for any
reason (including water damage) during normal use in the first 3 years of
ownership, STANDARD HORIZON will repair or replace it for free, without hassles
or charges. If it fails anytime thereafter in normal use, for as long as the
customer owns the radio, STANDARD HORIZON’s “Lifetime Rate Service, “Customer
Loyalty Policy” Programs will cover it. The flat rate is determined at the time
of the original purchase.
