GX1600/GX1700 Page 6 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 6 2013/03/13 14:43:40 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). 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. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles. Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain. 3dB 6dB 9dB GX1600/GX1700 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 7 Page 7 2013/03/13 14:43:40 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. To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. 5.5 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure: 1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is , , ” (your vessel’s name). 2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name). 3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry. 4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.). GX1600/GX1700 Page 8 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 8 2013/03/13 14:43:41 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. NOTE The GX1600 and GX1700 have DSC distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section “9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING”. 5.6 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9) Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel. Channel 16 is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. 0waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Also hailing on channel 9, the calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact. When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, press the PTT button on the mic and state the name of the other vessel you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign) then release the PTT button on the mic. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by pressing the PTT button on GX1600/GX1700 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 9 Page 9 2013/03/13 14:43:41 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.” 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. 5.7 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose. Check with your local marina to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic. Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are the channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name, the marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines. The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call. 5.8 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels. By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily key) for means to temporarily overuse a higher power. See page 26 ( ride the low-power limit on these two channels. 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 GX1600/GX1700 Page 10 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 10 2013/03/13 14:43:41 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.

To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary, however under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). Digital Selective Calling allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, Position Request, Position Report, Automatic Position Polling and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver. NOTE A DSC Warning sticker is included with the GX1600 and GX1700. To comply with FCC regulations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the GX1600 and GX1700. 9.2 WARNING STICKER MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 9.2.1 What is an MMSI? An MMSI is a nine digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE DSC FUNCTIONS. GX1600/GX1700 Page 38 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 38 2013/03/13 14:44:20 How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 group MMSI may be programmed. 9.6.1 Setting up the Group Call For this function to operate, the same group MMSI must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature. To understand group MMSI programming, first a ship MMSI has to be understood. Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are specific to the ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote the country and “123456” is your ships MMSI. Group MMSI: Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. The first digit of a group MMSI is always set to “0” by the international rules. All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”. The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the second, third and fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area the ship is located in. The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the group. This is an important step as all radios in the group must contain the same group MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI. -Setup Menukey until “Setup GENERAL 1. Press and hold the SETUP CH Function Setup Menu” appears.

Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any compatible GPS chart plotter is connected to the GX1600 and GX1700, the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel. For example your buddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with. NOTE The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its DSC radio and must not have its radio set to deny position requests. (Refer the section “9.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL” to enter information into the individual directory). 9.7.1 Setting up the Position Reply The GX1600 and GX1700 can be setup to automatically (default setting) or manually send your position when requested by another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about someone polling the position of your vessel that you may not want to. In the manual mode you will see the MMSI or persons name shown on the display allowing you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel. 1. Press and hold the key until “Setup Menu” appears. 2. Press the / key to select “DSC SETUP” menu. 3. Press the soft key, then select “POSITION REPLY” with the / key. 4. Press the soft key, then select “AUTOMATIC” or “MANUAL”. In “AUTOMATIC” mode, after a DSC position request is received, the radio will automatically transmit your position. In “MANUAL” mode, the display of the GX1600 and GX1700 will show who is requesting the position and the soft key on the radio has to be pressed to send your position to the requesting vessel. -Setup MenuGENERAL SETUP CH Function Setup DSC Setup Waypoint Setup GPS Setup MMSI Setup -Setup MenuGeneral Setup CH Function Setup DSC SETUP Waypoint Setup GPS Setup MMSI Setup GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 61 QUIT SELECT -DSC SetupIndividual Directory Individual Reply Individual Ack Individual Ring Group Directory POSITION REPLY SELECT QUIT -Position ReplyAUTOMATIC Manual ENT GX1600/GX1700 QUIT SELECT QUIT Page 61 2013/03/13 14:44:52 5.

Below are listed some data about the charts. 1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Vessel Traffic System. 2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to “go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on the U/I/C setting. 3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators on inter-coastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for these channels. 4.The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio. 5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with other users and some are used only in GX1600/GX1700 GX1600_GX1700_usa_EM048N161.indd 115 Page 115 2013/03/13 14:46:17 certain geographic regions. 6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16. 7. 156.050 MHz and 156.175 MHz are available for port operations and commercial communications purposes when used only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) area of New Orleans, on the lower Mississippi River from the various pass entrances in the Gulf of Mexico to Devil’s Swamp Light at River Mile 242.4 above head of passes near Baton Rouge. 8. 156.250 MHz is available for port operations communications use only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated VTS radio protection areas of New Orleans and Houston described in Sec. 80.383. 156.250 MHz is available for intership port operations communications used only within the area of Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, within a 25- nautical mile radius of Point Fermin, California. 9. 156.550 MHz, 156.600 MHz and 156.700 MHz are available in the U.S. Coast Guard designated port areas only for VTS communications and in the Great Lakes available primarily for communications relating to the movement of ships in sectors designated by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation or the U.S. Coast Guard. The use of these frequencies outside VTS and ship movement sector protected areas is permitted provided they cause no interference to VTS and ship movement communications in their respective designated sectors. 10.Use of 156.875 MHz is limited to communications with pilots regarding the movement and docking of ships. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. 5: 156.375 MHz and 156.650 MHz are available primarily for intership navigational communications. These frequencies are available between coast and ship on a secondary basis when used on or in the vicinity of locks or drawbridges. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. Maximum output power must not exceed 10 watts for coast stations or 25 watts for ship stations. 11.On the Great Lakes, in addition to bridge-to-bridge communications, 156.650 MHz is available for vessel control purposes in established vessel traffic systems. 156.650 MHz is not available for use in the Mississippi River from South Pass Lighted Whistle Buoy “2” and Southwest Pass entrance Mid-channel Lighted Whistle Buoy to mile 242.4 above Head of Passes near Baton Rouge.
