REMOTE MIC OPERATION
When an optional RAM3 Remote mic is connected to the GX1600, all VHF,
DSC, setup menus, AIS, Waypoint, Compass functions and PA/Fog modes
can be remotely operated. The RAM3’s operation is same as GX1600 except
the receiver audio volume setting and squelch level setting. The reason for the
same operation is to make the operation of the radio and RAM3 mic easy. For
specific operation of the RAM3 mic review sections in the radio manual. The
RAM3 is supplied with 23 feet (7 m) of routing cable and can be extended up
to 70 feet (21 m) using three 23-foot extension cables model CT-100. The
Intercom feature can be used between the RAM3 and the GX1600. In addi-
tion, speaker wires are supplied at the panel mount of the routing cable for
external speakers to be connected in noisy environments.
