Standard Horizon VHF Radios - Fixed Mount

Standard Horizon Fixed Mount VHF Radios: Engineered for the Water

When it comes to onboard communication, few names carry as much weight as Standard Horizon. A cornerstone of marine communication for over five decades, Standard Horizon is known for precision, rugged construction, and leading-edge features trusted by both recreational boaters and commercial mariners worldwide. Nowhere is that reputation more evident than in their lineup of fixed mount VHF radios — purpose-built units designed to be the heart of any vessel's safety and communication system.

From the Eclipse to the Quantum: A Range Built for Every Boater

Standard Horizon's fixed mount VHF lineup spans entry-level to commercial-grade, ensuring there's a right fit regardless of your vessel size or mission. The Eclipse Series GX1400 keeps the everyday boat operator in mind, with an Easy to Operate menu system that is more intuitive than ever. This series features a separate Channel 70 receiver, which allows DSC calls to be received even when listening to other communications — a critical safety advantage on busy waterways.

For boaters who want integrated GPS without the hassle of external wiring, the GX1400G makes installation a breeze with its internal 66-channel GPS built into the front panel — no need to wire the radio to an external GPS for DSC. Out of the box, DSC calling, position sharing, waypoint navigation, and navigation to DSC distress calls can all be performed with just a few simple steps.

At the top of the fixed mount range, the Quantum GX6000 delivers 25W commercial-grade performance with NMEA 2000 connectivity and an integrated AIS receiver — making it a standout choice for serious offshore boaters and commercial operators who need vessel traffic awareness baked right into their radio.

Safety by Design

Standard Horizon offers an extensive range of fixed DSC VHF radios, with many also offering the convenience of a second station remote microphone — a practical feature for larger vessels where the helm and cockpit may be far apart. Fixed-mount radios offer up to 25W of output, which increases transmission range compared to handheld units, giving mariners the confidence that their call will be heard when it matters most. Whether you're day-sailing on a lake or running offshore passages, Standard Horizon's fixed mount VHF radios are built to perform when the stakes are highest.
