Easy DSC and Installation
The GX1700 makes DSC easy. With an internal 12 Channel GPS built
into the front panel, there's no need to hassle with wiring the
radio to a GPS for DSC. Out of the box and ready to go, DSC
calling, position sharing, waypoint navigation, navigation to DSC
distress calls can all be performed with just a few simple
steps.
GPS Compass - Navigate to Waypoints
The GX1700 is capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints.
These waypoints may be selected and navigated to by using a unique
navigation compass display that shows your vessels SOG, COG, BRG
(Bearing) and DST (Distance) to the waypoint with the internal 12
channel WAAS GPS.
ITU-R M493-11 Class D Digital Selective Calling
The GX1700 is an ITU-R M493 Class D class VHF with a separate
Channel 70 receiver, which allows DSC calls to be received even
when listening to communications. The DSC DISTRESS function when
activated transmits a digital MAYDAY including vessel
identification, Latitude / Longitude and time, to facilitate prompt
response. Additional calls that can be made are Individual,
Urgency, Safety, Position Report and Send.
RAM3 second station mic capable
Need to remotely control the VHF from your cockpit of fly bridge?
The GX1700 is RAM3 remote mic capable to control all VHF, DSC
functions at a second station.
Big, bold display
There is no question about it. With a big, bold display there is no
mistaking the information. The contrast and brightness can be
adjusted for situations where the radio cannot be mounted directly
in front of you.
DSC Position Polling and NMEA in/output
Easily share position information with other DSC equipped vessels
using the position request and position reporting functions. With
the push of a few buttons you can request the position of another
vessel, or simply send your position information to the vessel you
select. The GPS Position of a received DSC Distress or Position
Request call can be shown on a compatible GPS Chart plotter simply
by connecting 2 NMEA wires. In addition, the GX1700 may be setup to
automatically poll the GPS position of up to 4 stations.
Programmable Scan, Priority Scan and Dual Watch
Scanning is not an issue with the GX1700 The radio can be setup to
scan any number of channels with or without a Channel 16 as the
priority channel or simply can be setup to scan between a priority
channel and one other channel (dual watch).
Clearvoice noise reduction technology
The GX1700 features Clear Voice Noise Reduction Technology
eliminating unwanted background noises like engines and wind during
transmission. This assures transmissions are crystal clear along
with dedicated 16/9, H/L keys and channel selection.
Programmable Channel Names
The GX1700 is supplied from the factory preloaded with description
of the use of Marine channels (16-Distress, 22A-USCG,

understand the use of each channel.
