3.4 Setting channel mode

The VHF is delivered from factory with both Int. & US channels enabled for selection from

the operation menu.

Provision of other country regions (channel tables) for selection requires the intervention by

an authorized Sailor representative in order to enable such.

The operator selection of preferred country region (channel table) is done from menu 4.4.1

(channel mode) and the selected country region is indicated in the front panel display (note:

this does not apply to the CA channel table and any custom defined channel tables).

The selected country region is stored during power down sequence.

Using the country region BI (Inland waterways) Dual Watch (DW) and scanning mode are not

available.

3.5 Private channels

Private channels can be defined by using the service interface only (distributor/dealer).

Enabled private channels become valid for selection on the front panel. Using the /

will simply make the private channel number appear above the highest numeric

channel number. 30 (3x10) private channels are available for each enabled channel mode.

Note: In US mode private channels P0-9 will be pre-programmed with the 10 weather

channels. In CA mode, P0-2 is pre-programmed with the 3 regional weather channels.

Private channels can be selected using the numeric key pad:

• Private channels: Long press on followed by a digit (0-9)

• Leisure channels: Long press on followed by a digit (0-9)

• Fisher channels: Long press on followed by a digit (0-9)

Continued activation of the keys ´3´, ´5´ or ´7´ will cause the letters F-, L- or P- respectively

to be displayed.

3.6 Duplex channels

If duplex channels are selected on an RT5022 simplex/semi-duplex radio (see chapter:

Maritime channels) the VHF will operate in semi-duplex mode meaning that the VHF is

operated in simplex mode, but uses two different frequencies to receive and transmit.

If a duplex channel is selected on an RT5020 duplex radio full duplex is supported on these

channels, meaning that both receiver and transmitter is active simultaneously.
