1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX Series GX2000 and GX2100 Marine VHF/ FM Marine transceiver are designed to be used in USA, International and Ca­nadian Marine bands. The GX2000 and GX2100 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.
MA TRIX AIS GX2100
Integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver to display AIS vessel information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG) directly on the VHF radio, so you will know what is out there in any conditions. The GX2100 is also capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navigated to by using a unique naviga­tion compass display. The MATRIX AIS allows you to contact an AIS Ship directly using DSC, show your vessels position in relation to AIS targets and alert you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm. To receive AIS targets from ships with AIS class A or B transponders. Simply connect the normal VHF antenna (only one antenna needed!)
MATRIX - GX2000
For the mariner who already has AIS on-board and desires a VHF with the features of the MA TRIX AIS, the MATRIX GX2000 has a connection for an AIS receiver or transponder.
The MATRIX Series VHF’ s are cap able of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class D operation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The MA­TRIX Series VHF's operate on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switchable for use with USA, International, or Canadian regulations. Emer­gency channel 16 can be immediately selected from any channel by pressing the red [16/9] key. NOAA Weather channels can also be accessed immedi­ately by pressing and holding the [CLR(WX)] key.
Other features of the MATRIX Series VHF’s include: Speaker Microphone, 30W PA/Fog, optional RAM3 second station remote-control microphone with display, multi-station intercom with RAM3, scanning, priority scanning, sub­mersible speaker mic, high and low voltage warning, and GPS repeatability.

GX2000/GX2100Page 12
7 GETTING STARTED
7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The ma­rine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “line of sight”.
7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA
Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal direc­tions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.
Page 13GX2000/GX2100
7.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction.
For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG­213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
1/16''
3/4''
1 1/8''
Adapte r
3/4''
1/8''
5/8''3/8''
To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector . Be sure to make good soldered connections.
GX2000/GX2100Page 14
7.4 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE
Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:
1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, May- day. This is , , ” (your vessel’s name).
2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name).
3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or mag­netic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.
4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).
5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).
6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.
7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.
8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.
9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone button and listen.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re­sponse, try another channel.
)
NOTE
The GX2000 and GX2100 have DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section “11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALL”.
Page 15GX2000/GX2100
7.5 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel. It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Call­ing should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, st ate the name of the other vessel you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, im­mediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the other channel, and “over. ” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel.
)
After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.
GX2000/GX2100Page 16
7.6 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS
To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Pub- lic Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name, The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.
The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.
7.7 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67
Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only , such as meeting and passing in restricted waters.
Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels. By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your
radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these chan­nels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 23 (H/L key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.
Page 17GX2000/GX2100
8 INSTALLATION
8.1 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass read­ing due to the speaker magnet
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio
• choose a mounting location that is at least 3 feet away from the radio's antenna.
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the de­sired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
8.2 MOUNTING THE RADIO
8.2.1 Supplied Mounting Bracket
The supplied mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting. Use a 13/64” (5.2-mm) bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 0.4 inch
(10 mm) thick and can support more than 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) and secure the bracket with the supplied screws, spring washers, flat washers, and nuts.

11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
11.1 GENERAL
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore­based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be ap­proximately 20 nautical miles.
NOTE
A DSC W arning sticker is included with the GX2000/GX2100. To comply with FCC regulations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the GX2000/GX2100.
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Sys­tem (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
WARNING
STICKER
This new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSITION SEND, A UTO POLL­ING and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
1 1.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI
)
11.2.1 What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine T ransceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels.
THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE THE GX2000/GX2100 DSC FUCTIONS.

11.7 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (example members of a yacht club) using DSC radios with Group call function to auto­matically switch to a desired channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collec­tively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 Group MMSI may be programmed.
11.7.1 Setup a Group Call
For this function to operate the same Group MMSI must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea­ture. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be understood.
Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a Ship MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are specific to the Ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote the country and “123456” is Ships ID for you.
Group MMSI: Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations
licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers.
The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” by International rules.
All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a Group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the
Second, Third and Fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the area the ship is located in.
The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is an
important step as all radios in the Group must contain the same Group MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program in the same Group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the Group MMSI.

11.8 POSITION REQUEST
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX2000/ GX2100. Standard Horizon has t aken this feature one step further, if any com­patible GPS chart plotter is connected to the GX2000/GX2100, the polled po­sition of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel. For example your buddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set not to deny posi­tion requests. (Refer the section “11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL” to enter information into the individual directory).
11.8.1 Setting up Position Reply

13 AIS/COMPASS SETUP
13.1 Automatic Identification System (AIS)
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a short range coastal tracking system. AIS is intended to assist in collision avoidance by seeing positions and courses of AIS equipped vessels around your vessel.
AIS is mandatory on passenger ships, irrespective of size, all ships 300 gross tonnage and larger engaged on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage and larger not engaged on international voyages.
AIS uses two marine VHF channels. Each ship equipped with an AIS tran­sponder transmits a packet every few seconds with information about the ship and its voyage. Radio frequencies: AIS1 = 161.975 MHz, or channel 87B and AIS2 162.025 MHz , or channel 88B. A stand-alone AIS receiver or the AIS receiver built in to a Class A or Class B transponder can pick up these radio signals and translate them into a NMEA data sentence that can be understood by a computer with the proper software or by an AIS-enabled chart plotter.
Classes of AIS:
Class A - 12.5W power output - mandated for use on SOLAS Chapter V ves-
sels (and others in some countries).
Class B - 2W output - lower cost derivative for leisure and non-SOLAS mar-
kets.
The Matrix AIS GX2100 is capable of receiving Class A and B transmission with the internal Dual Channel AIS receiver. The GX2000 must be connected to an optional AIS receiver or transponder.
What is the range for AIS receivers?
z Since AIS uses similar VHF frequencies as a marine VHF radio, it has
similar radio reception capabilities - which are basically line of sight. This means the higher your VHF antenna is mounted, the greater the reception area will be.
z Reception from Class A vessels that are 20 or even 30 miles away on open
water is not uncommon as their antennas are mounted high off the water.
z Class B transponders use lower power for transmissions, therefore you
can expect Class B vessels to be received when they are 5 to 10 miles away.
For additional information on AIS visit the USCG web site: <http:// www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/ais.htm>

16 ENHANCED RAM+ MIC OPERATION
When the Remote MIC is connected to the GX2000/2100, all VHF, DSC, setup menus, AIS, W aypoint, Compass functions and P A/Fog modes can be remotely operated. The CMP30’s operation is same as GX2000/GX2100 except the receiver audio volume setting and squelch level setting. The reason for the same operation is to make the operation of the radio and CMP30 mic easy . For specific operation of the CMP30 mic review sections in the radio manual. The CMP30 is supplied with 23 feet (7 m) of routing cable and can be extended up to 70 feet (21 m) using three 23-foot extension cables model CT-100. The Intercom feature can be used between the CMP30 and the GX2000/2100. In addition, speaker wires are supplied at the panel mount of the routing cable for external speakers to be connected in noisy environments.
