Good solid VHF, March 18, 2011

This review is from: Standard Horizon GX1150B Standard Eclipse DSC+ VHF Radio - Black (Electronics)

My old SH VHF died after several years of great service.
I wanted to replace it with a good solid unit, without too many bells and whistles.
This VHF fits the bill exactly. It is small, compact and attractive. It has external speaker jack (which I need for my boat), and channel controls on the Mic.
Have done several radio checks and all confirm that I am coming in 5x5 (strong and crystal clear).
Great product, very affordable, would definitely recommend it.

Standard Horizon GX1150B VHF Radio, November 15, 2012

I ordered this VHF radio through Amazon. It arrived quickly, and was shipped in protective packaging. Price was good. I installed it, and everything worked perfectly. The connection to my Garmin GPS brings the coordinates into the radio, so the emergency DSC function is available. Radio reception was clear, even for far-away locations (if you get a good antenna).

One suggestion if you do buy this radio. I bought an automotive connector from O'Reilly so that the radio can be quickly disconnected from my boat.

Does the job nicely, at a low price, November 15, 2012

This review is from: Standard Horizon GX1150B Standard Eclipse DSC+ VHF Radio - Black (Electronics)

I owned an Icom marine VHF for about 20 years, until suddenly, the synthesizer board failed. Service would cost about the price of the Standard Horizon - and since I own a Standard Horizon GPS system on my boat, I figured it would be easy to hook the two together.

The radio works perfectly. These kinds of products are a foolproof as a wrench. Audio is good and loud, radio reports are good (but hey, with a masthead antenna 52 feet above the water, I can hear Coast Guard signals more than 100 miles away).

Don't depend on your cellphone in case of an emergency. A responsible boater has a marine VHF below decks on the boat electrical system, and a handheld VHF for cockpit use.
