GPS Compass - Navigate to Waypoints
The GX1700 is capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints. These
waypoints may be selected and navigated to by using a unique navigation
compass display that shows your vessels SOG, COG, BRG (Bearing) and DST
(Distance) to the waypoint with the internal 12 channel WAAS GPS.

ITU-R M493-11 Class D Digital Selective Calling
The GX1700 is an ITU-R M493 Class D class VHF with a separate Channel 70
receiver, which allows DSC calls to be received even when listening to
communications.

The DSC DISTRESS function when activated transmits a digital MAYDAY
including vessel identification, Latitude / Longitude and time (with GPS
connected), to facilitate prompt response. Additional calls that can be made
are Individual, Urgency, Safety, Position Report and Send.

mistaking the information. The contrast and brightness can be adjusted for
situations where the radio cannot be mounted directly in front of you.

DSC Position Polling & NMEA In/Output
Easily share position information with other DSC equipped vessels using the
position request and position reporting functions. With the push of a few
buttons you can request the position of another vessel, or simply send your
position information to the vessel you select.

The GPS Position of a received DSC Distress or Position Request call can be
shown on a compatible GPS Chart plotter simply by connecting 2 NMEA wires.

In addition, the GX1700 may be setup to automatically poll the GPS position
of up to 4 stations.

Programmable Scan, Priority Scan and Dual Watch
Scanning is not an issue with the GX1700 The radio can be setup to scan any
number of channels with or without a Channel 16 as the priority channel or simply can be setup to scan between a priority channel and one other channel
(dual watch).
