The GX2100 MATRIX AIS Dual Channel AIS Receiver Built-in
The GX2100 MATRIX AIS has a dual channel AIS receiver built-in. It allows you to see AIS targets simply by pressing the dedicated AIS key. The MATRIX AIS will allow you to contact an AIS Ship directly using DSC, show your vessels position in relation to AIS targets and alert you when an AIS ship may be approaching to close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm and displays AIS MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG. The MATRIX AIS can also be connected to any GPS chart plotter that can accept VDM sentence at 38400 baud.

Navigate to Waypoints
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 when connected to an external GPS. The MATRIX AIS is capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints.

Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
The MATRIX AIS allows DSC calls to be received even when listening to traffic on Marine VHF channels and is a Class D DSC VHF with a separate Channel 70 receiver.

When activated, the DSC DISTRESS function transmits a digital MAYDAY including vessel identification, Latitude / Longitude and time (with GPS connected), to facilitate prompt response. Individual, All ship - Urgency and Safety, Group, Position report and position request calls are additional calls that can be made.

DSC Position Polling and NMEA in/output
By using the position request and position reporting functions, you can easily share position information with other DSC equipped vessels. You can also request the position of another vessel, or simply send your position information to the vessel you select with the push of a few buttons.

By simply connecting 2 NMEA wires, the GPS Position of a received DSC Distress or Position Request call can be shown on a compatible GPS Chart plotter.

30W PA and Fog signalling with Listen back
A 30W Loud Hailer with Fog signals; Bells and Whistles with listenback is included in The MATRIX AIS. The last selected VHF channel can be heard when in the PA or Fog modes as an added benefit.

Optional RAM3 capable
If you need to remotely control the VHF from your cockpit or fly bridge, the MATRIX AIS is RAM3 remote mic capable to control all VHF, DSC and AIS functions at a second station.

ClearVoice noise reduction technology speaker microphone
The MATRIX AIS eliminates unwanted background noises like engines and wind during transmission using Clear Voice Noise Reduction Technology which assures transmissions are crystal clear along with dedicated 16/9 key and channel selection. The microphone also includes a speaker for crystal clear receiption of transmissions.

Commercial grade 80dB receiver
The MATRIX AIS rejects the reception of unwanted signals from pagers and other unwanted VHF frequencies with advanced receiver technology. The MATRIX AIS also has a receiver attenuator to futher reduce noise in busy harbors and marinas.

Big, bold display
With a big, bold display there is no mistaking the information. There is no question about it. For situations where the radio cannot be mounted directly in front of you, the contrast and brightness can be adjusted.

Programmable Channel Names
The MATRIX AIS is shipped from the factory preloaded with description of the use of Marine channels (16-Distress, 22A-USCG, 71-Pleasure...). To easily understand the use of each channel, the channel names may be customized by the user.

GPS repeating
Position, date, and time are also displayed when interfaced with a GPS receiver by connecting a GPS to the MATRIX AIS.

Programmable Scan, Priority Scan and Dual Watch
Scanning is not a problem with the MATRIX AIS. The radio can be setup to simply scan between a priority channel and on other channel (dual watch)or scan any number of channels with or without a priority channel.

NOAA Weather channels and Weather Alert
Easily selectable using the dedicated WX key, 10 NOAA and Canadian Weather channels are pre-programmed. The MATRIX AIS can also be set to monitor WX channels and provide an audible alert to inform of pending storm advisories.
