Description

Standard Horizon SCU-31 GPS Smart Antenna

Enhance your marine navigation and communication setup with the Standard Horizon SCU-31 GPS Smart Antenna, a high-performance accessory designed to provide precise GPS positioning and seamless integration with compatible Standard Horizon VHF radios. The SCU-31 ensures reliable location tracking, helping you navigate safely and efficiently in any marine environment.

Built for harsh offshore conditions, this smart antenna features waterproof, corrosion-resistant construction and supports fast satellite acquisition for accurate GPS data. Compatible with Standard Horizon handheld and base VHF radios, the SCU-31 integrates easily into your onboard system to deliver enhanced navigation and safety capabilities.

Key Features

• High Precision Navigation: Delivers accuracy of less than 3 meters by utilizing SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) correction signals.

• Rapid Acquisition: The 66-channel WAAS receiver ensures fast signal lock-on times, reducing the delay when viewing your position on a navigation screen.

• Flexible Connectivity: Outputs standard NMEA 0183 data.³ While it can plug directly into compatible Standard Horizon radios, the cable can also be cut and spliced to act as a GPS source for any NMEA 0183-compatible device.

• Rugged Build: The antenna features a UV-protected ivory white housing to prevent fading and is backed by a 3-year waterproof warranty.

• Generous Cable Length: Comes supplied with 49 feet (15 meters) of routing cable, allowing for optimal placement on a radar arch or mast.

Installation Tip

Mount the SCU-31 at least 3 feet away from radar arrays or other transmitting antennas to avoid signal interference. If you are connecting this to a Standard Horizon GX1400, be aware that you may need to splice the wires directly into the radio’s NMEA 0183 input/output wires rather than using a plug-and-play connector.
