GME GX700B Compact Fixed-Mount VHF Marine Radio Black 25W and 1W IPX7 Rear Microphone Input with Waterproof Speaker Mic Dual Watch The GME GX700B is a compact fixed-mount VHF marine radio in black with 25W/1W switchable output, IPX7 waterproofing, a rear microphone input socket for remote mic placement, a dual speaker system, and a waterproof speaker microphone included. Large LCD display with adjustable brightness, dual and triple watch, two programmable priority channels, and international, USA, and Canadian channel sets. White version available as GX700W. Product overview The GX700B is a full-specification fixed-mount VHF marine radio in a compact form suited to limited dashboard and console space. The rear microphone input socket is a standout installation feature. Most VHF marine radios have the microphone socket on the front panel, which routes the microphone cable into the skipper's field of view. The GX700B adds a rear input: an optional extension cable (5m or 8m, sold separately) runs from the rear of the radio to a flush-mount waterproof socket installed at a convenient vessel location beneath the windscreen, on a side panel, or anywhere the MC616B speaker mic needs to be positioned. The speaker mic plugs into this remote socket rather than hanging from the front panel. A waterproof blanking plug covers the front socket when the rear input is in use. This is particularly effective for above-windscreen installations in hard-top vessels where helm cable clutter is a concern. 25W is the standard maximum output for fixed-mount VHF marine radios, providing communication range of typically 10 to 20 nautical miles under good conditions. The 1W low-power mode suits close-range communication with nearby vessels and reduces power consumption. The large LCD display is readable from any angle in daylight and low-light conditions with adjustable brightness. Dual and triple watch monitor two or three channels simultaneously, keeping Channel 16 the international distress, safety, and calling frequency continuously monitored. Two programmable priority channels and two working channel memories provide quick access to frequently used frequencies. Programmable channel scan stops on active transmissions and returns to scanning when the channel clears. An optional SPK45B extension speaker can be added for audio coverage at a second vessel location. The GX700B is functionally identical to the GX700W. The choice between the two is based entirely on vessel colour scheme. Features and benefits 25W and 1W switchable output power: 25W for maximum VHF communication range of typically 10 to 20 nautical miles under good conditions, 1W for close-range use and power conservation. IPX7 waterproof: Protected against 1 metre submersion for 30 minutes. Rear microphone input socket: Optional 5m or 8m extension cable (sold separately) routes the microphone connection to a remote flush-mount waterproof socket. Ideal for above-windscreen hard-top installations without cable clutter in the skipper's sightlines. Waterproof speaker microphone included: For standard helm use via the front input or remote location via the rear input. Dual speaker system: Clear audio at the helm. Optional SPK45B extension speaker available for coverage at a second vessel location. Large LCD display with adjustable brightness: Wide-angle, readable in daylight and low-light conditions. Dual watch and triple watch: Simultaneous monitoring of two or three channels including Channel 16. Two programmable priority channels and two working channel memories: Quick access to frequently used channels. Programmable channel scan: Scans user-defined channels and pauses on active transmissions. International, USA, and Canadian channel sets: Complete VHF marine coverage for Australian and international waters. Black finish: Suits black vessel helm panels and consoles. White version available as GX700W.

Most VHF marine radios have their microphone socket on the front panel, routing the mic cable into the skipper's sightlines. The GX700B adds a rear input: an extension cable (5m or 8m, sold separately) runs from the rear of the radio to a flush-mount waterproof socket at a convenient vessel location. The speaker mic plugs into this remote socket. A blanking plug covers the front socket when the rear input is in use. For above-windscreen hard-top installations, this keeps the helm area clear of cable clutter. What is the difference between 25W and 1W transmit power? 25W is the full-power output for fixed-mount VHF marine radios, providing communication range of typically 10 to 20 nautical miles under good conditions depending on antenna height. 1W is low-power mode for close-range communication with nearby vessels, reducing interference to other channel users and conserving power on vessels with limited battery capacity. How does the GX700B differ from the GX700W? The GX700B and GX700W are functionally identical. The GX700B is black; the GX700W is white. Select based on vessel colour scheme and interior aesthetics. What optional accessories are available for the GX700B? Available accessories include 5m and 8m rear mic extension cables for remote microphone placement, the SPK45B extension speaker for audio at a location away from the helm, and the waterproof blanking plug for the front mic socket. Contact us to confirm current accessory availability. What channel sets does the GX700B cover? The GX700B includes complete International, USA, and Canadian VHF marine channel sets, covering Australian waters and vessels that operate internationally.

Both operate in the 27MHz HF frequency range but use different channel plans for different user groups. The 27MHz Marine Band is for boat-to-boat, boat-to-shore, and distress communication in Australian coastal and inland waters Channel 88 is the designated marine emergency channel. The 27MHz Citizen Band is the Australian open-use CB system for land-based communication. The GX400B covers both, allowing the same radio to serve on the water and on land. What is Channel 88 and why is it important for marine use? Channel 88 is the designated distress and safety calling channel on the Australian 27MHz marine band equivalent to Channel 16 on VHF marine radio. Vessels in distress should transmit on Channel 88. The GX400B's dedicated red button provides immediate one-button access to Channel 88 in an emergency without navigating menus or scrolling channels. What are dual watch and triple watch functions? Dual watch monitors two channels simultaneously typically the working channel and a safety or calling channel such as Channel 88. Triple watch extends monitoring to three channels at once. The radio interrupts channel monitoring when a transmission is detected on a watched channel, ensuring important calls on safety and working channels are not missed. What mounting options are included and what are the cut-out dimensions? Both a flush mount bracket and a gimbal bracket are included. Flush mounting requires a 65 x 165mm cut-out with a 99 x 209mm mounting frame outer dimension. The 45mm mounting depth allows installation in tight dashboard and console locations. What is the optional SPK45 extension speaker? The SPK45 is an optional external speaker for extending audio coverage to a different location on the vessel useful on larger vessels where the helm speaker cannot be heard at the stern, cockpit, or below deck. Contact us for details on the SPK45 before purchasing. Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
