Standard Horizon GX1800G Fixed Mount VHF with GPS – White – GX1800GW
The Standard Horizon GX1800G Fixed Mount VHF Radio – White (GX1800GW) is a reliable, feature-rich 25 W marine VHF transceiver with integrated GPS positioning, designed for recreational and commercial marine communication. Built for onboard safety, navigation, and ease of use, this Explorer Series fixed mount radio combines essential VHF functionality with modern integration and compact marine design.
Equipped with a built-in 66-channel WAAS GPS receiver, the GX1800GW provides accurate position data without requiring a separate GPS antenna, making DSC position reporting and navigation easier directly from the radio’s interface. Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) with a separate CH70 receiver gives continuous monitoring of distress channels while you operate on other channels.
The radio features an ultra-slim, compact rear case (approx. 3.3″ depth) for flexible mounting options — including flush or bracket mounting in tight dash spaces. Its E2O (Easy to Operate) icon-based menu system simplifies navigation of features like channel presets, scan modes, and NOAA weather alerts. The GX1800GW also supports optional second station remote microphones (e.g., RAM4 SSM-70H) and intercom functionality between stations.
Additional useful features include programmable scan, priority scan, and multi-watch functions, waypoint navigation and GPS compass display, automatic DSC position polling, and selectable night mode for low-light reading. A noise-canceling microphone ensures clear audio communication even in noisy marine environments.
Key Performance Features
-
Integrated 66-Channel GPS: No extra wiring required for DSC features; the radio handles position-tracking internally.
-
Class D DSC (Digital Selective Calling): Includes a separate, dedicated receiver for Channel 70, so you never miss a distress call while listening to other channels.
-
E2O (Easy to Operate) Menu: An icon-driven menu system that makes programming channels and using DSC features as simple as using a smartphone.
-
Second Station Capable: Fully compatible with the optional RAM4 (SSM-70H) remote mic, allowing you to control all functions from a second station (like a flybridge or cockpit)
-
NMEA 0183 Connectivity: While it lacks NMEA 2000, it can still share GPS and DSC data with older chartplotters via NMEA 0183 wires.
-
IPX8 Submersible: Rated to withstand immersion in 1.5 meters (5 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes

Are you planning to install this inside a cabin or on an open dash?
Because the GPS antenna is built into the front panel, it needs a relatively clear view of the sky. If you are mounting it deep inside a metal or thick carbon-fiber cabin, you might need the SCU-38 External GPS Antenna to ensure a lock. Would you like me to check the price on that antenna?
The Standard Horizon GX1800G Fixed Mount VHF with GPS – GX1800GW is an excellent choice for boaters seeking a powerful, integrated VHF radio with GPS navigation and advanced usability features for coastal cruising, inland waterways, and everyday marine communication.
