    Why does my Standard Horizon Transceiver keep blowing fuses?
    • M
      Miguel HendrixJul 30, 2025
      If your Standard Horizon transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it is likely due to reversed power wires. Ensure that the red wire is connected to the positive battery post and the black wire is connected to the negative. If the fuse continues to blow after verifying correct wiring, contact your Standard Horizon dealer for further assistance.

      If your Standard Horizon transceiver fails to power up, the issue might be due to a lack of DC voltage or a blown fuse. Check the power cable to ensure it's receiving DC voltage. Also, inspect the fuse and replace it if necessary with a 6A 250V fuse.

    What to do if Standard Horizon ECLIPSE + GX1250SA Transceiver has popping noise from the speaker?
    • D
      Dawn GonzalesAug 9, 2025
      If you are hearing popping or whining noises from the speaker of your Standard Horizon transceiver while the engine is running, it's likely due to engine noise. To resolve this, try rerouting the DC power cables away from the engine. You can also add a noise suppressor on the power cable, switch to resistive spark plug wires, and/or install an alternator whine filter.

    • S
      Steven SanchezAug 14, 2025
      If your Standard Horizon transceiver transmits only on low power, the cause may be related to the antenna. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver using an alternative antenna. If the issue persists, contact your Standard Horizon dealer.

      Jessica LoweryAug 19, 2025
      If your Standard Horizon transceiver transmits but does not receive, the issue might be due to the channel mode. The transceiver could be tuned to a duplex channel meant for ship-to-shore radiotelephone communications.

    Why external speaker plug does not fit into Standard Horizon jack?
    • W
      wilsonnicholasAug 25, 2025
      If the external speaker plug doesn't fit into the jack of your Standard Horizon transceiver, it's probably because the speaker cable has the incorrect plug. The external speaker jack is designed to accept only RCA phono plugs.
