Details:
The GX5500s is just like the GX5000S but is commercial grade. With the GX5500S's big, bold display there is no mistaking the information. It can easily be seen in locations where the radio cannot be mounted directly in front of you.
The GX5500S meets the international requirements for Class D with a separate Channel 70 receiver, which allows DSC calls to be received even when listening to traffic on Marine VHF channels. The DSC DISTRESS function when activated transmits a digital MAYDAY including vessel identification, latitude / longitude and time (with GPS connected), to facilitate prompt response. Additional calls that can be made are individual, urgency and safety. The standard hand microphone has a built in speaker and uses noise canceling technology called ClearVoice for unsurpassed communications even in the noisiest environments. The GX5500S includes a 30W loud hailer with fog signals and listen back capabilities.
A unique feature allows the treble and bass of the speaker audio to be adjusted for best listening. The effect is similar to adjusting the treble and bass controls on a stereo.
If the GX5500S fails for any reason (including water damage) during normal use for the first 3 years of ownership, Standard Horizon will repair or replace it free, without hassles or charges. If it fails for anytime thereafter in normal use, for as long as the original purchaser owns the radio, Standard Horizon's Lifetime Flat Rate and Customer Loyalty Service Programs will cover it.
