Standard Horizon STD-GX1255SAA1S Quest Fixed-Mount VHF Radio (Black)

The Quest comes with a high-quality microphone that meets the same strict waterproof standards as the radio. More significantly, the microphone incorporates Standard Horizon's ClearVoice noise reduction technology, which eliminates unwanted background noises such as engines and wind. The resulting "loud and clear" transmissions are crisp and easy to understand the first go round, adding to the safety of all involved. Users will also appreciate the handy buttons on the microphone's rubber armor, which deliver immediate access to emergency channels 16 and 9 along with up/down access to the other VHF channels.

The Quest also meets the internationally recognized requirements for Digital Selective Calling (DSC), which allows you to send a distress signal at the touch of a button or exchange position information with other boats or stations. DSC activates a continuous, unattended "mayday" signal that identifies your vessel, reports your latitude and longitude, and gives the time. Furthering the Quest's safety reputation is its GPS compatibility. When connected to a GPS position receiver, the Quest can send your GPS position to other boats in an emergency, or it can exchange position information with other boats or stations. This life-saving feature saves a ton of time in a crisis, as it helps rescuers locate your craft quickly and efficiently.

Finally, the Quest is a breeze to use thanks to the large, backlit LCD window, which offers tall, wide digits and obvious, easy-to-identify information flags. Should you be confused as to the function of a specific channel, simply check the display. Plus, the Quest offers a variety of channel scanning functions, including Dual Watch (monitors one user-selected channel at the same time as emergency channel 16) and Priority Scan (scans any combination of channels along with a priority channel).

Bundled in an interference-reducing die-cast chassis and wrapped in a watertight black case, the radio keeps on talking even after a full drenching. The radio, which measures 6.31 by 2.5 by 6.31 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a three-year warranty.
