Digital Selective Calling

Man Over Board (MOB) Alert
Send a Man Over Board (MOB) distress message to all vessels within range at the press of a button.

On-Screen Speed Display
Monitor your speed via GPS in your preference of either Kms or Knots.

Float and Flash
Waterproof to IP67, if this high performance radio is accidentally dropped overboard, it will not only float, but the LCD will flash brightly, ensuring easy location and retrieval.

5/1W Switchable Power
Reduce battery consumption by selecting the low power setting when using the radio at close range, ideal for communications between the mother ship and tender, or at full 5W power for communicating over longer distances.

Large, Bright LCD Screen
Clear and easy to read, even in difficult lighting conditions.

Programmable Scanning including Dual and Tri Watch
Program the way in which your GX800 scans channels to suit your activity. Dual and Tri Watch enable you to monitor a working or club channel while still being able to receive important broadcasts on Channel 16.
