Raymarine Ray101 Bedienungsanleitung PDF herunterladen (Seite 6)

Overall performance of the Ray101

was Good. We found water in the bat-

tery area after the dunk test. It did not

penetrate the battery compartment or

the area where the battery-to-radio

connections are located as they are

protected with a small gasket.

Bottom Line: Too big and heavy for

our liking, plus it has a rather short

battery life.

Standard Horizon HX600S

The HX600S is the product line

leader for Vertex Standard. It features

multi-band and digital-selective-call-

ing capabilities—one of only two

radios with the latter feature. If it is

sitting in its charger and the charger

is wired to a GPS unit, the HX600S

will transmit vessel position data

along with the MMSI number when

making an emergency Digital Selec-

tive Call (DSC).

The HX600S has a top-mounted

volume control and side-mounted

pushbuttons for on-off, squelch, and

push-to-talk. Eight front-mounted

pushbuttons control transmitter

power selection, channel changing,

weather, scanning, and band choice.

It can receive signals on the Marine,

Aircraft, AM, and FM bands. It trans-

mits on Marine only. An optional

headset, microphone, or speaker plugs

into a jack on the top of the unit.

The HX600S was the only radio to

achieve Excellent ratings across the

board and pass the drop and submer-

sion tests with no glitches or caveats.

Battery life was also Excellent and

rated at 15+ hours. Battery replace-

ment cost, at $65, is the lowest of

any unit that requires a specialized

battery.

Bottom Line: Excellent performance

coupled with features like multi-band

technology and DSC capability make

the HX600S our top pick.

Standard Horizon HX500S

Identical in looks to the HX600S,

the less expensive HX500S operates

only on the Marine band and does

not have DSC capabilities. It has a

top-mounted volume control and

side-mounted pushbuttons for on-

off, squelch, and push-to-talk. Seven

front-mounted pushbuttons control

transmitter power selection, channel

changing, weather, and scanning.

An optional headset, microphone, or

speaker plugs into a jack on the top

of the unit.

The HX500S performed very well

in our testing, earning mostly Excel-

lent ratings. It passed the drop and

submersion tests. Though it uses the

same battery as the HX600S, it did

not perform quite as well, lasting 13

hours. When we ended its battery-life

test, the HX500S was not dead—it

simply stopped transmitting just

seconds before it would have been set

aside for another hour. The HX500S

has a cutout circuit that will lock out

the transmitter when the battery volt-

age drops below a certain point. It still

had life and could transmit, just not

for the sustained 3 minutes we used

during our testing. Battery replace-

ment cost on the HX500S is $65.

Bottom Line: Rugged construction,

very good overall performance, and a

reasonably priced replacement battery

make the HX500S a good choice.

Standard Horizon HX370S

Though the HX370S shares the same

control layout as the more expensive

HX500S and HX600S, it is bigger and

heavier. It also has a larger display

screen. The HX370S has a top-mount-

ed on/off/volume control and side-

mounted pushbuttons for push-to-

talk and squelch. Seven pushbuttons

on its face control transmitter power

selection, channel changing, weather,

and scanning. An optional headset,

microphone, or speaker plugs into a

jack on the top.

The HX370S performed well in our

testing, earning all Good and Excel-

lent ratings. It did, however, trail most

in the group in audio output. Submer-

sion testing went well. The battery

separated from the radio during the

drop test, however. After we picked it

up and reinstalled it, everything was

operating normally. Battery life on the

HX370 was rated at 15+, though upon

reaching hour 15 it was fairly weak.

We don’t think this radio had much

left at that point. Battery replacement

is $65.

Bottom Line: A decent overall per-

former; it’s just a little big and heavy

for us.

Standard Horizon HX471S

Even though the HX471S is the small-

est and lightest radio in our test, it’s

also packed with features like multi-

band and DSC capabilities. This radio

Above: Standard Horizon packs a smorgasbord of features into its

HX471S. Here, the radio is set on the Aircraft Band, which would allow a

boater in trouble to monitor aircraft search-and-rescue communications.
