## Description

Great Product

Review: good quality=good value - this replaced my 15yr VHF and wow, big improvement. I can actually hear radio calls. Thought it was the antenna for a couple of years. So far so good. The GPS acts as a backup to the chartplotter of the same age that is working fine at the moment...for now.. haha. Fast delivery too!
Review: Used like new was a real bargain. - The radio was easy to install and has key functions similar to those on my Standard Horizon handheld VHF. Consequently the radio was easy to learn to use. I entered my MMSI number which I obtained free through the US Power Squadron web page and activated the DSL function. There is capability to link it to my chart plotter but I haven’t done that yet. Internal GPS works well with no need for an external antenna even though it is mounted below deck. I purchased separately a flush mount kit to mount it in a bulkhead with other instruments on my sailboat. It is a very clean installation with no exposed wires or brackets.

## Questions & Answers

A: No not that I know of.

**Q: If you are going to surface mount this, what is the rough opening?**
A: The template that is in the back of the manual is 138mm x 73mm. Roughly 5.5 inches wide x 3 inches tall. Use the template when Marking the cut as the rounded edges and precise measurements ensure a perfect fit.

**Q: Is this radio nmea 2000 compatible?**
A: unfortunately No,  not the GX1800 looks like it lacks the internal programming  -   the GX1850  is NMEA 2000 per page 79 of the owners manual.

**Q: I know this is for marine applications but is it lawful fpr use on a motorcycle?**
A: If memory serves me, it's legal to operate as a land station who's purpose is to communicate with marine stations.  License was required at one time.  No reason that couldn't be on a motorcycle, i.e. you're following a ship on the motorcycle and communicating.
