    How to fix a Standart Horizon GX1800GPS/E Transceiver that fails to power up?
    • P
      Patrick TaylorAug 5, 2025
      If your Standart Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, it may be due to no DC voltage reaching the unit or a blown fuse. First, check the 12 VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that the power key is pressed and held down to turn the radio on.

    Why does my Standart Horizon GX1800GPS/E show 'HI BATTERY' or 'LO BATTERY'?
    • C
      christine75Aug 9, 2025
      The “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message on your Standart Horizon Transceiver indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 16.5 volts DC.

    What to do if Standart Horizon GX1800GPS/E Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to power?

      Gregory LynnAug 14, 2025
      If your Standart Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it's likely due to reversed power wires. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (–) post. If the issue persists, contact your Dealer.

    Why is my Standart Horizon GX1800GPS/E Transceiver transmit power low?
    • A
      Andrea FrederickAug 17, 2025
      If a receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standart Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna may be the issue. Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem continues, contact your Dealer for servicing.

    How to eliminate engine noise from Standart Horizon Transceiver speaker?
    • J
      Jodi JonesAug 22, 2025
      If you're hearing a popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standart Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, it's likely engine noise interfering with the radio. Try these steps: 1. Re-route the DC power cables away from the engine. 2. Add a noise suppressor on the power cable. 3. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter.

    What to do if Standart Horizon GX1800GPS/E Transceiver position is not displayed?
    • G
      gweissAug 26, 2025
      If your position is not displayed on the Standart Horizon Transceiver, there could be several reasons: * Check the “UNIT POWER” setting is “ON”. * Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS use the battery ground for NMEA connection. * Check the SCU-38 cable connection. * Check the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 format with GLL, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting make sure to select 4800 and parity to NONE.

    What to do if Standart Horizon Transceiver has no sound?
    • M
      Manuel HughesAug 30, 2025
      If no sound comes from the internal or external speaker of your Standart Horizon Transceiver, the issue might be with the accessory cable. Check the connections of the accessory cable. Specifically, ensure that the external speaker cable (WHITE/ SHIELD) is not shorted.
