Standard Horizon GX1850W 25W Fixed-Mount VHF Marine Radio — NMEA 2000 Compatible

The Standard Horizon GX1850W is a professional-grade 25 watt fixed-mount marine VHF radio designed to deliver reliable communication, flexible networking, and easy operation aboard recreational and commercial vessels. Built with NMEA 2000 compatibility, this white-finished radio integrates seamlessly into modern marine electronics networks so you can view radio data, GPS, and DSC alerts across compatible chartplotters and displays.

With Class D DSC (Digital Selective Calling) support and a separate CH70 receiver, the GX1850W enhances safety by monitoring distress-call channels even while operating on other channels. The intuitive E2O Easy-to-Operate menu system makes navigation of features and settings simple, whether you’re programming DSC, scanning channels, or adjusting audio.

The radio’s ultra-slim compact chassis (just 3.3″ rear depth) allows versatile mounting options — flush, bracket, or in tight cabinetry — while minimizing dashboard intrusion. It also offers support for optional second-station remote microphones (such as the RAM4 SSM-70H) with intercom capability, letting you communicate clearly between stations on board.

Additional features include programmable scan functions, multi-watch, NOAA weather channels with alerts, and a selectable night mode display, making the GX1850W ideal for coastal cruising, inland waterways, and everyday marine use.

Key Performance Features

NMEA 2000 Interface: True "Plug-and-Play" connectivity. Easily share GPS position data, DSC calls, and vessel information with your chartplotter or MFD.
Ultra-Compact Design: The shallow depth allows for mounting in locations where other radios simply won't fit.
E2O (Easy to Operate) Menu: An intuitive, icon-driven menu system that eliminates the need to carry the manual on board.
Second Station Capable: Supports the optional RAM4 (SSM-70H) remote microphone, allowing you to control all VHF functions from a second location, like a flybridge or cockpit.
IPX8 Submersible: Built to survive the worst conditions, rated to withstand 1.5 meters (4.9ft) of water for up to 30 minutes.
Clear Voice Technology: Features a high-performance internal speaker and noise-canceling technology to ensure transmissions are heard clearly over engine and wind noise.

Note: The GX1850 model requires an external GPS source (via NMEA 2000 or 0183) to function for DSC. If you want the version with a built-in GPS antenna, you would look for the GX1850GPS model.

Does your boat already have a NMEA 2000 backbone?

Since this radio relies on an external GPS signal for its distress features, you'll need to connect it to your GPS/Plotter. I can help you find the right NMEA 2000 drop cable or show you how to wire it via NMEA 0183—which would you prefer?

The Standard Horizon GX1850W is a dependable, network-ready VHF solution that combines strong communication performance with advanced integration and user-friendly operation — perfect for boaters who need reliable radio functionality with modern connectivity.
