Standard Horizon
Standard Horizon claims its venerable Eclipse VHF is the most-installed marine radio in history and — in tribute to its popularity — has introduced a modernized version, the Eclipse DSC+ GX1100S ($139.99). The newest morph features Class D DSC and an LCD screen that displays latitude/longitude, channel names and other information. The polling feature displays other vessels' locations and — when connected to a chart plotter via NMEA 0183 — shows their positions as an overlay, making it an ideal "team fishing" tool. Available in black or white in flush or panel mount, it's waterproof and submersible to 3 feet and has a full set of controls on the microphone. www.standardhorizon.com
