Standard Horizon expands Explorer Series

http://www.standardhorizon.co.uk

STANDARD HORIZON HAS expanded its Explorer Series of fixed-

mount DSC VHF marine radios with the GX1800GPS/E and upgraded

GX1850GPS/E. Both models carry the same features as the GX1700E,

as well as an intuitive redesigned front panel for ease of use and an

updated high-resolution display.

The GX1800GPS/E supports the NMEA 0183 protocol, while the

GX1850GPS/E additionally carries the new and faster NMEA 2000 protocol.

Both of these NMEA interfaces allow full connectivity with GPS and DSC

data between compatible devices. To aid with use in the dark, both

models feature a new selectable night-mode display on the 66mm x

36mm backlit dot matrix screen. The level of illumination can be changed

to a soft muted white with the text in easy-to-read large black letters.

Both sets are second-station capable, allowing them to use Standard

Horizon’s latest RAM4 microphone, the SSM-70H model.

HoseCoil PRO

http://www.HoseCoil.com

THE HOSECOIL PRO Series provides

all the functionality of the popular

HoseCoil Standard Series self-coiling

hose but with a larger, half-inch interior

diameter for a 30% increase in flow rate. Available

in 15ft, 20ft and 25ft lengths, HoseCoil PRO has a 4.75in diameter

coil for better ease of handling and incorporates dual strain reliefs to reduce

kinking on either end. It is also made with much thicker material for added strength and durability.

All models include popular three-quarter-inch garden-style fittings made with brass alloy. Like all

HoseCoil products, the PRO Series is made of top-of-the-line, high-performance polyether material

that is built to withstand UV and saltwater exposure – making them perfect for cockpit washdown.

Sentinel Cam ‘plug & play’ camera

http://www.yacht-sentinel.com

YACHT SENTINEL’S ‘PLUG & play’ camera, Sentinel Cam,

allows users to live stream what’s happening on their boat

and receive a 30-second video if the camera detects an

intrusion. The waterproof unit offers low-power (<400mA)

and data (<100MB per month) consumption, but still sends

high-definition 1080p videos. Sentinel Cam can be powered

by any type of power socket, or directly wired to the boat’s

battery. It works with both Wi-Fi and 3G/4G networks using

the global roaming sim card provided – estimated cost is

less than £9/€10/$11 per month under normal usage – or

the user’s own sim card.

MADE IN THE US and now

approved for sale in

Europe, ACR Electronics’

next-generation ResQLink

Personal Locator Beacons

(PLBs) – the ResQLink 400

and ResQLink View PLBs

• operate on the three
  Cospas-Sarsat satellite
  systems. This includes the
  new MEOSAR, ensuring they
  offer near-instantaneous
  signal detection and
  transmission enabled by
  the global MEOSAR satellites
  and upgraded ground-station
  components.
  Using the next-gen network, anyone
  activating a ResQLink PLB can expect their
  beacon to be located within 100m (328ft),
  95% of the time, within five minutes of the
  distress signal. The new ResQLink series also
  incorporate a multi-constellation receiver
  utilising both the Galileo Global Navigation
  Satellite System (GNSS) as well as the GPS
  Satellite network for faster location and
  improved accuracy. With built-in buoyancy,
  the ResQLink PLBs feature an operating life
  that exceeds 24 hours.
