An easy listening alternative is an understatement when it comes to describing GME’s powerful GR200, AM/FM radio. The GR200 is a compact water resistant feature loaded entertainment option for vessels where there is no requirement for CD playing or insufficient space to install a conventional marine entertainment system. Like its predecessor, the award winning GR100, the GR200 provides boaters with the full benefit of stereo FM radio reception, along with SW, MW and LW AM reception. The integrated VHF marine band receiver has been enhanced affording clearer reception under marginal circumstances with the addition of a user adjustable ‘digital squelch control’. As a result of customer feedback a rear panel input for a personal MP3 player has now been included, (additional LE74 lead required**) a direct connection to the headphone socket enables the MP3 player’s audio to be selected and processed by the GR200. The GR200 also packs a knockout punch in terms of audio power, now boasting an impressive 80 watts! That’s six times more than the GR100, sufficient volume for a blast of ‘heavy metal’, the soothing tones of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata or the latest weather report. The GR200 is a broadcast receiver, to complement GME’s marine transceivers it is available in either a semi matt black or hi-gloss white finish. The GR200 is packaged with gimbal mounting hardware; however, an optional flush mounting kit is offered for in-dash or bulkhead installation. A full range of GME accessories, including external speakers, protective covers and an external power amplifier are also available.
