5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS 5.2 ABOUT VHF RADIO 5.3 SELECTING AN ANTENNA The FCC prohibits the following communications: • False distress or emergency messages: • Messages to “any boat” except in emergencies and radio tests; • Messages to or from a vessel on land; • Transmission while on land; • Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000).
5.4 COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
the mic and saying “go to,” the number of the other channel, say “over” and release the PTT button on the mic. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.
5.9 AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK SERVICE In areas across the country, Sea Tow offers boaters a way to conduct radio checks. To use Sea Tow’s free Automated Radio Check service, simply tune your VHF radio to the appropriate channel for your location and conduct a radio check as you typically would. Upon releasing your radio’s microphone, the system will play an automated message and relay your transmission back to you, thereby letting you know how your signal will sound to other boaters.
5.10 WHAT IS THE RANGE FOR AIS RECEIVERS? Since AIS uses similar frequencies as a marine VHF radio, it has similar radio reception capabilities - which are basically line of sight. This means that the higher the VHF antenna is mounted, the greater the reception area will be. Reception from Class A vessels that are 20 or even 30 miles away on open water is not uncommon as their antennas are mounted high off the water.
6 INSTALLATION 6.1 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 3 feet (1 m). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.
6.3 MOUNTING THE RADIO 6.3.1 Supplied Mounting Bracket The supplied mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting. Use a 13/64” (5.2 mm) bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 0.4” (10 mm) thick and can support more than 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) and secure the bracket with the supplied screws, spring washers, flat washers, and nuts.
6.3.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket 1. Use the supplied template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 6.7” (17 cm) deep). There should be at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) between the transceiver’s heatsink and any wiring, cables or structures. 2. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver. 3.
6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity battery connections will damage the radio! Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as follows: 1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet (1 m) away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. The antenna cable must have a PL259 connector attached. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25 feet (7.6 m) or more from the radio.
6.5 ACCESSORY CABLES The image and table below show the wires of the GX2200 and the connections to optional devices such as a PA speaker (horn), external speaker, GPS chart plotter and an AIS receiver or transponder.
