FLUSH MOUNTING THE RADIO
The optional MMB-84 Flush-Mount Bracket allows flush mounting the radio to
your vessel.
1. To assist in flush mounting, a template has been included. Use this template to assess the mounting location.
2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be
cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 6.7 inches or 17 cm deep).
There should be at least 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) between the transceiver’s heatsink
and any wiring, cables or structures.
3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver.
4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut
combination; so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface.
5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is
tight against the mounting surface.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The STANDARD HORIZON GX2000/2100 is a VHF/FM Marine Transceiver
designed for use in the frequency range of 156.025 to 163.275 MHz. The
GX2000/2100 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF
output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.
The GX2100 is equipped with the AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver and its display program which enables to identify and avoid other large
vessels nearby your vessel. The GX2100 is equipped with the display program of the AIS too. Threrfore, the GX2000 also enables to identify and avoid
other large vessels nearby your vessel, if the AIS receiver (not supply) is
commected.
The GX2000/GX2100 is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class D
operation and an Enhanced second station RAM+ mic (CMP30 remote-control speaker/microphone with display) or VH-310 Handset. Class D operation
allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Calling functions on channel
70 even if the radio is receiving a call.
The GX2000/GX2100 operates on all currently-allocated marine channels
which are switchable for use with USA, International, or Canadian regulations.
It has an emergency channel 16 which can be immediately selected from any
channel by pressing the red [16/9] key. NOAA Weather channels can also be
accessed immediately by Press and holding the [CLR(WX)] key with channel
selection.
Other features of the GX2000/GX2100 include: 30W PA/Fog, multi-station
intercom, scanning, priority scanning, submersible speaker mic, high and low
voltage warning, and GPS repeatability.

5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION
Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.
5.1 STATION LICENSE
An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in
U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length. However, any
vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying a
HF single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to
have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship
(605) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet at http://
www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form605/605.html. To obtain a form from the FCC, call
(888) 225-5322.
5.2 RADIO CALL SIGN
Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Radio
Station License. The USCG recommends the boats registration number and
the state to be used.
5.3 CANADIAN SHIP STATION LICENSING
You may need a license when traveling in Canada. If you do need a license
contact their nearest field office or regional office or write:

6 FCC NOTICE
NOTICE
Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with FCC Rules. Any change or modification must be approved
in writing by STANDARD HORIZON.
NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equpmet into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.
GX2000/GX2100Page 10
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''
Adapter
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.
Page 11GX2000/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
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 Universal Mounting Bracket
The supplied universal 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.
