GX6500

VHF Radio · GMDSS

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified

The Standard Horizon GX6500 is a marine VHF radiotelephone. It is normally installed at the bridge radio console with its antenna high on the vessel. It is designed for ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, port and safety voice communication. The operating principle relies on radio-frequency voice transmission and reception in the VHF marine band. The supplied entry gives no additional verified capacity, pressure, power or dimensional figure for this model. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are control layout, remote stations, approval configuration and antenna arrangement; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on transmit/receive performance, audio, antenna/feeder condition and normal/emergency power. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Need this part?

Request a quote for this model.

Free of charge — we forward your request to qualified suppliers for Standard Horizon equipment from our network of over 114,000 maritime companies.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we usually come back with prices; without them we have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
