Dedicated Distress Button
The GM600 meets ITU class A DSC. The radio includes a dedicated DSC receiver which continuously monitors CH 70 and is independent of the main receiver and other operation. The DSC Multi-task function allows you to show up to 7 received and transmitted DSC messages. While using the DSC Multi-task screen, the operating channel is shown at the right side of the screen.
Large User Rriendly Display
The GM600 comes with a 4.3" color TFT LCD with user-friendly icons. Navigate the menu via the main dial knob or the up and down keys. The most used functions are lined up at the bottom of the display and users can toggle with the left and right keys. The display also allows you to select the day and night modes according to how light it is outside.
Additional Features
- Large speaker for clear audio
- 10W audio output when plugged into external speaker
- DC-DC power supply option for floating ground connection
- Printer connector (D-sub 25-pin)
- VDR (voyage data recorder)/external SP connector

Dedicated Distress Button
The GM800 meets ITU-R M.493-13 DSC. The dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver continuously scans the six distress channels in rotation. A total of 100 MMSI members for DSC calls can stored with a 10-character ID name. The DSC Multitask function shows up to seven DSC procedures. The GM800 is also capable of sending a distress relay call.
Large User Fiendly Display
The 4.3 inch color TFT LCD provides almost 180 degree wide viewing angle and displays high resolution characters and function icons. Even when the radio is installed to the instrument panel, the operator can clearly recognize the display information from various viewing angles. The night mode display ensures good readability in low light conditions.
A combination of the directional keypad and soft keys provide simple operation. Most used functions are assigned to soft keys (at the bottom of the display) for quick one push function access. The large ten-key pad enables you to smoothly enter channel numbers, MMSI numbers with ID names and so on.
