#V50 VHF RADIO NMEA 2000 NETWORK PORTABLE#

The H60 handset was designed as an intuitive portable companion to the V60 and each handset duplicates the radioвЂ™s display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. Provided with the B&G V60 is the option to pair up to two wireless handsets so the radio can be taken anywhere onboard. Share location details and keep track of up to five friends using Track Buddy, which requests the location of another VHF radio when the MMSI is entered into the VHF contact list. The information is clearly viewable on the V60вЂ™s built-in screen or can be overlaid on top of a chart or radar through a compatible multifunction display.

The built-in dual channel AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS-equipped vessels to assist in collision avoidance in crowded waterways.

The B&G V60 also answers the call for increased situational awareness on the water. NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 connections allow the user to get GPS data from a chartplotter or from another antenna thatвЂ™s already in the system. A GPS antenna in the face of the radio is perfect for open-air installations and the SMA connector can be coupled with a GPS-500 antenna. With its integrated GPS receiver, the V60 now has four ways to ensure GPS reliability in the event of an emergency. Designed as a replacement for the V50, the B&G V60 includes a large, intuitive interface, built-in AIS receiver, a front mountable mechanical design for easy installation and optional wireless handsets with inductive charging. The Standard Horizon appears to provide alot of options for the money.Southampton, UK - B&GВ®, the worldвЂ™s leading sailing navigation and instrument specialist, announced today the release of its V60 mid-level VHF radio. Other VHF radio options I looked at where the Icom 506 Rear Mic and the Ray63. I am about to start installation of my new Axiom+12 RV MFD and purchase the GX6000. Interested in feedback from individuals using the GX6000 and if anyone has any knowledge of whether this issue was eventually resolved and if so what the solution was? IвЂ™ve queried the Standard Horizon as well as the Raymarine support sites requesting information also. Latest post on thread was dated with no resolution listed.

The latest information IвЂ™ve been able to find is an issue the Raymarine forum had tracked with problems the Standard Horizon GX6000 VHF radio had establishing and maintaining connection to the Axiom MFD over NMEA2000 for GPS data. I plan on connecting the radio to the chartplotter via a newly installed NMEA backbone and have been researching any issues it may have had before purchasing. I like the capabilities of the GX6000 (option to rear mount mic, AIS receiver, hailer and 2nd remote mic options). IвЂ™m currently upgrading my console on a 30вЂ™ Pursuit with a marlin tower from an older Sitex Colormax11 chartplotter to either one or two Raymarine Axiom+12 RV MFD(s), installing along the way a new Raymarine GPS150 antenna/receiver, a new bShakespeare 5225XT antenna and new VHF radio.
