Voice Transmission

•

Use the Transmit (TX) mode to communicate with safety

services, other vessels and shore stations. When using this

capability, follow appropriate procedures and observe the

expected courtesies.

Before pressing the Talk button to transmit a message, select

the appropriate channel and transmit power output.

Channels

Voice messages may be transmitted on most VHF channels.

Refer to the VHF marine channel assignments on pages 14-23

to select a channel based on the type of message being

transmitted.

Choose One of the Following Options to Change the

Channel:

■ Turn the Channel knob or press the microphone Channel

Up/Down buttons. This moves the channel to the next

higher or lower VHF channel. (When on Channel 88A, the

next higher channel is Channel 1 and vice versa.) For

rapid advance, press and hold the microphone Channel

Up/Down buttons. (The confirmation key tone sounds for

each button press, but not during rapid advance.)

■ Press the Channel 16/9 button on the radio or the

microphone. This selects Channel 16 with one press and

Channel 9 with a second press. Additional presses will

toggle between Channel 16 and Channel 9. Press and

hold the Channel 16/9 button to return to Standby mode.

NOTE

The radio will automatically select high power on

channel 16 if you use the 16/9 button to select this

channel. Select 16 manually or save it as a preset if

you would like to routinely use channel 16 on low

power mode.
