The CP180 GPS Chart Plotter has the capability to be connected to STANDARD HORIZON VHF Fixed mounted radios with DSC polling capability. This is done by simply connecting 3 wires between the CP180 and the VHF. Connecting the products together allow you to securely and totally privately poll and display another vessels position on the display of the CP180. To take this one step further, the CP180 has a DSC Call directory that logs the position of the polled vessels and also the position of a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress call. STANDARD HORIZON pioneered this function, leading the industry with innovative features and function.
The optional FF520 Fish Finder option brings high-end fish finding capability to Standard Horizon's CP155C, CP175C, CP180, CP180i, CPV350 and CP1000C WAAS GPS Chart plotters making them the ideal choice for casual or professional anglers alike. The FF520 Dual Frequency (50 and 200kHz) Black Box Fish Finder's advanced filtering eliminates unwanted noise and sharpens return echos for enhanced seperation and detection. Transducer ID™ allows the FF520 to query the transducer (sold separately) to determine its perfromance characteristics. Power output, frequency, beam pattern and other unique transducer characteristics are sent to the fish finder. this data allows the fish finder to fine tune itself to match the transducer which optimizes overall system performance. No matter what the conditions, you will be able to fine tune your fishing rather than the fish finder. Note: Transducer ID™ is a registered trademark of AIRMAR Technology Corporation, Milford.
