3 year waterproof warranty
If the STANDARD HORIZON QUEST-X 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.

Oversized Alphanumeric LCD
There is no question about it. With a big, bold display there is no mistaking the information. Works great in situations where the radio cannot be mounted directly in front of you.

Display Shows Channel Names and Repeats the GPS Information
All the information you need right at your fingertips. Customizable channel naming allows you to easily change the channel name for greater ease of use and better channel recognition. Position, date, and time are also displayed when interfaced with a GPS receiver.

Lat/Lon and SOG/COG Display
When interfaced with a GPS, position information is displayed on the LCD. This makes sharing position information with other vessels or the coast guard simple if you run into an emergency. Speed Over Ground and Course Over Ground are also displayed to help keep you on track.

DSC Distress Call Automatically Broadcasts Lat/Lon and Vessel ID
Dedicated DSC Distress button automatically transmits a DSC distress call to all DSC equipped vessels within your VHF range. When interfaced with a GPS your position is also transmitted to help expedite a rescue attempt. Seperate Class D DSC receiver included.

DSC Position Request Function and NMEA Data Input/Output
Easily share position information with other DSC equipped vessels using the position request and position sharing functions. With the push of a few buttons you can request the position of another vessel, or simply send your position information to the vessel you select.

Capable of Connecting the Optional Enhanced RAM+ Second Station
Connect the optional RAM+ second station Microphone to have a full functioning second station. All of the features of the main radio can now be accessed through the RAM+. Connect the VH-310 to have a full functioning Class D second station fully equipped with an alpha-numeric keypad in a Telephone style handset.

Programmable Scan and CH16 Dual Watch
Select any of the channels you would like to scan with the press of a button. Select Dual Watch to scan your selected channel and channel 16 simultaneously. This way you will not miss any of the very important calls made on channel 16. Similar to Dual Watch, Priority Scan allows scanning of more than one channel with Channel 16
