5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS 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). 5.2 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz.
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 RG213/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.
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.
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.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. 5.

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 0.89 m (2.92 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits. Antenna Installation: The antenna must be located at least 0.89 m (2.
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 inch (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. DESKTOP MOUNTING OVERHEAD MOUNTING 6.3.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket 1.
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 6.5.1 MATRIX GX2000 Connection The image and table below show the wires of the MATRIX (GX2000) and the connections to optional devices such as a PA Speaker (Horn), External Speaker, GPS Chart plotter and a AIS receiver or Transponder. The MATRIX uses NMEA 0183 protocol to communicate to a GPS chart plotter and a AIS device. GPS Chart Plotter connections are at 4800 baud and AIS device signalling is at 38400 baud sometimes called High Speed (HS).
6.6 MATRIX AIS+ CONNECTIONS The image and table below show the wires of the MATRIX AIS+ (GX2150) and the connections to optional devices such as a PA Speaker (Horn), External Speaker and a GPS Chart plotter. The GX2150 uses NMEA 0183 protocol to share coordinates, DSC and AIS information to and from a GPS chart plotter. The GX2150 transfers targets to a GPS Chart plotter or PC at 38400 baud (sometimes called High Speed HS).
6.6.2 MATRIX AIS+ 38400 Baud Connections Use the image and table below when connecting to a GPS Chart plotter which has one NMEA 0813 ComPort.
GPS Connections (GX2000: 4800 baud) NMEA INPUT (GPS Information) • The GPS must have the NMEA Output turned on and set to 4800 Baud in the setup menu. If there is a selection for parity select none. • For further information on interfacing /setting up your GPS. Please contact the manufacturer of the GPS receiver. • GX2000 can read NMEA-0183 version 2.0 or higher. • The NMEA 0183 input sentences are GLL, GGA, RMC, and GNS (RMC sentence is recommended).
6.7 CHECKING GPS CONNECTIONS After connections have been made between the GX2000/GX2150 and the GPS, a small satellite icon will appear on the top right corner of the display and your current location (Latitude/Longitude) will be shown on the display. NOTE If there is a problem with the NMEA connection between the radio and the GPS, the GPS icon will blink continuously until the connection is corrected. 6.

6.12.1 Connecting an External Speaker to the RAM3 Mic Cable In noisy locations and optional external speaker may be connected to the white speaker wires on the RAM3 (CMP30) routing cable. The RAM3 (CMP30) can drive the internal speaker or the external speaker one at a time. When connecting an external speaker, follow the procedure below to turn off the RAM3 (CMP30) audio and enable the external speaker wires on the RAM3 (CMP30) routing cable. 1.
7 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS NOTE This section defines each control of the transceiver. See illustration at the next page for location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter 8 of this manual. 7.1 FRONT PANEL CHANNEL Knob Rotary knob is used to select channels and to choose menu items (such as the DSC menu, Radio Setup and DSC Setup menu). The / keys on the microphone can also be used to select channels and menu items.
SQL Knob (Squelch Control) Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does. This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions. Soft Keys The 3 soft keys functions can be customized by the Setup Menu mode section “10.14 SOFT KEYS”.
