DCS - Digital Selective Calling Capabilities
The most important reason to have a VHF radio on board you vessel is
safety. The U.S. Coast Guard will soon have national coverage for DSC
reception. The SPECTRUM+ features the official U.S. Coast Guard
recognized version of this technology. In an emergency the SPECTRUM+ is
capable of sending an automated, unattended, continuous, digital MAYDAY
message that includes current vessel position time/day and a FCC
assigend vessel identification. By design, the DSC MAYDAY will be
digitally received by the Coast Guard, all commercial vessels and any
other vessel equipped with a DSC radio. This digital safety feature
insures prompt assistanvce eliminating critical mistakes in MAYDAY
transmissions that occur when operators are under stress. To increase
your sense of security the SPECTRUM+ also receives digital
acknowlegements alerting the radio operator that the vessels distress
call has been received. Of course the DISTRESS Key is properly protected
with a cover to reduce the possibility of an unintentional activation.
In addition to transmitting a DSC Distress call the INTREPID+ can show a
vessel in distress when a DSC distress is receieved simply by connecting
any STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart plotter to the INTREPID+. This allows you
to exactly see and navigate to the vessel in distress.
Also, SPECTRUM+ allows the user to exchange position data with a fellow
cruiser or fisherman with its POSITION REQUEST or POSITION SEND
functions. When connected to a STANDARD HORIZON GPS Chart Plotter, these
positions are actually shown on the display. Should it become necessary
to notify all of the vessels of a commercial fleet or towing service,
the GROUP CALL feature makes it simple.
DCS Position Polling
DSC Position Polling Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll
the location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on
the display of the SPECTRUM+. Standard Horizon has taken this feature
one step further, if any Standard Horizon GPS is connected to the
SPECTRUM+ the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of
the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the location of the
polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the
position of anther vessel for example you buddy that is catching fish,
or finding the location of a person you are cruising with. DSC Position
Send The feature is similar to Position Request, however instead of
requesting a position of another vessel this function allows you to send
you position to another vessel. Your vessel must have an operating GPS
receiver connected to send the position. When another INTREPID+ or
SPECTRUM+ equiped vessel receives your position, the transceiver outputs
a the position to NMEA DSC sentence which may be used byany a Standard
Horizon GPS chart plotter to show your position on the receiving
transceiver.
GPS Repeatability
When connected to you GPS position receiver the SPECTRUM+ will display
time, date, Latitude/Longitude, Speed Over Ground (SOG), and Course Over
Ground (COG). Of course the time clock features an offset to compensate
for local versus UTC. GPS repeatablility insures the accurate and safe
transmission of your location in an emergency or when you are attempting
to meet a fellow cruiser.
Integrated 20-Watt Hailer with Pre-Programmed Signals
Foul weather can lead to unsafe boating conditions. The SPECTRUM+
features a built in 20-Watt Loud Hailer with 4 selectable, preprogrammed
foghorn signals. In addition to broadcasting the appropriate fog signal
for your vessel, the listen back feature receives and amplifies a return
horn, further reducing the possiblilty of a collision. The hailer
software in the SPECTRUM+ also includes a horn, siren, aground and yelp
signals and bells.
Dual Station Capability with Optional RAM Mic
The SPECTRUM+ has the capability of being connected to a submersible
full-featured Remote Access Microphone (RAM Mic). This advanced remote
operates as a full-powered second station to the SPECTRUM+ at the
flybridge, cockpit, tower or loaction of you choice. The RAM
incoportates a remarkably large LCD with a speaker microphone that
allows the user to remotely access most of the VHF functions of the
SPECTRUM+. A 23-foot routing cable (extendable to 43-feet with 10-foot
extension cables) and waterproof bulkhead mounting connector insure a
clean professional-looking installation.
Programmable Scan, Priority Scan, NOAA Weather Alert
SPECTRUM+ highlights scanning of user selected channels or priority
scanning of any channel. Additionally, SPECTRUM+ features 10 NOAA
weather channels including weather alert allowing SPECTRUM+ to intercept
frequency encoded regional Emergency Weather alerts. The HUGE LCD
display provides visual indications for all scanning functions in a bold
easy to understand flags.
Clear Voice Noise Technology
SPECTRUM+ features a uniquely designed waterproof microphone. Clear
Voice, STANDARD HORIZON innovation, provides the clearest possible
transmission, by significantly reducing wind and engine background
noise. In addition to its unique noise canceling capabilities, the
SPECTRUM+'s microphone features a speaker, up/down and 16/9-channel
selection.
