Out of the box and ready to go, acquiring AIS and AIS SART targets, DSC calling, position sharing, waypoint navigation, and navigation to DSC distress calls can all be performed with just a few simple steps.

Built in AIS Receiver with AIS / AIS SART target display: MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG

The MATRIX AIS/GPS displays AIS target information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG) allows you to contact an AIS Ship directly using DSC, shows your vessels position in relation to AIS targets and alerts you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm.

Programmable CPA or TCPA collision avoidance alarms

The GX2200 Matrix AIS/GPS shows your vessels position in relation to AIS targets and alerts you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm, or Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) Alarm.

30 Watt PA/Loud Hailer with pre-programmed fog signals and listen back

The MATRIX AIS/GPS includes a 30W Loud Hailer with Fog signals; Bells and Whistles with listen back. For added benefit, the last selected VHF channel can be heard when in the PA or Fog modes and the AIS Display may be accessed and used.

RAM4 Second Station Compatible

Need to remotely control a VHF from your cockpit of fly bridge? The MATRIX AIS/GPS is RAM4 remote mic capable to control all VHF and DSC functions at a second station. The RAM4 is a duplicate of the main radio display showing all functions including AIS displays and vessel information. The Intercom feature allows communication between the main radio and the remote station.

RAM4X Wireless Second Station Compatible

Wirelessly control all radio functions of the GX-2400 with the interface of the RAM4X wireless Remote Access Microphone. Using the SCU-30* Wireless Access Point plugged into the back of the radio, you have the capability of syncing up to 4 RAM4X units. With an operating range of up to 65 feet, the RAM4X allows you to control all Radio functions including DSC Calling, Position Polling, Group Calling and more. The RAM4X may also be used as an intercom between the main station or between other wireless RAM4X units.
(*The SCU-30 must be purchased separately, it is not included with the RAM4X)

Waypoint Navigation

The MATRIX AIS/GPS is capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints. These waypoints may be selected and navigated to by using a unique navigation compass display that shows your vessels SOG, COG, BRG (Bearing) and DST (Distance) to the waypoint.

Flush Mount Capability

Two mounting options are available. Bracket mount with the bracket and knobs included, or use the optional MMB-84 to flush mount into a bulkhead.

Integrated Voice Scrambler

Loaded with an internal 32 code voice scrambler for private communications. the 32 code scrambler is compatible with all Standard Horizon 4 code scramblers already in use.
