RAM+
Remote Access Microphone CMP25

GX1256S

VHF Marine Transceiver

Finally an economical DSC VHF capable of a FULL Function
Second Station Remote Control!

Optional Enhanced RAM+ Mic

The QUEST+ has the capability of being connected to the enhanced full
function RAM+ Mic. This advanced second station operates as a full remote

to the QUEST+ at the fly bridge, cockpit tower or location of your choice. The
submersible RAM+ allows you to control all radio functions including Digital
Selective Calling and can show channel names and repeat GPS information.
The 25 Foot routing cable of the RAM+ has speaker wires so there is no
need to run additional wires for an external speaker.

DSC Performance

The most important reason to have a VHF radio on board your vessel is safety.
The QUEST+ meets the internationally recognized requirements for RCTM

SC-101 Digital Selective calling. In an emergency the QUEST+ is capable of
transmitting an automated Digital MAYDAY transmission that includes GPS
position and Date and Time when connected to a GPS. The QUEST+ can
also transmit and receive DSC Urgency, Safety, Group and Individual calls.

Position Polling

STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered the capability to poll (request and send)
the GPS location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on

the VHF’s display. STANDARD HORIZON has taken this feature one step
further, if any STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart Plotter is connected to the
QUEST+ the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the
STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart Plotter making
it easy to navigate to the location of the received
position of the polled vessel. In a distress situation,
when the QUEST+ receives a DSC Distress call
from another vessel, the position of the vessel in
distress is shown on the Standard Horizon GPS
Chart plotter making it easy for you to assist in the
rescue.

Channel Names, NOAA Weather Alert and Scanning

Don’t know what a specific channel should be used for, the QUEST+
identifies the intended function on the channel on the oversized LCD. The

QUEST+ is NOAA Weather Alert capable that warns you of impeding severe
weather by audibly alerting you to switch to the active weather channel. The
Quest+ can be programmed to scan any number or combination of channels
with or without CH16 as the priority. Want to scan
and CH16, you can using the Dual Watch function.

ClearVoice Noise Reduction Technology

The QUEST+ features an exceptional waterproof microphone that includes
STANDARD HORIZON’s exclusive ClearVoice Noise Reduction technology.
ClearVoice technology eliminates unwanted background noises like engine
and wind. The results are clear transmissions that are heard and understood
the first time. Handy buttons on the microphone provide convenient access to
CH16 or 9 and has channel selection capabilities.

Built Better so Backed Better

The QUEST+ was designed from the ground up to take the punishment of
the marine environment. If the STANDARD HORIZON QUEST+ fails for any

reason (including water damage) during normal use in the first 3 years of
ownership, STANDARD HORIZON will at its discretion repair or replace it for
free. If it fails for anytime thereafter in normal use, for as long as the original
customer owns the radio, STANDARD HORIZON’s Lifetime Flat Rate
Service, Customer Loyalty Policy Programs will cover it. The flat rate is
determined at the time of the original purchase.
