6 GETTING STARTED
6.1 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. 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 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 25 km, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 8 km in “line of sight”.
6.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA
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 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 1 m, 3 dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically, a 1 m 3 dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 2.5 m 6 dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.
3dB
6dB
9dB
6.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable
– a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction.
For runs less than 20 feet (6 m), RG-58/U (about 0.25" (6 mm) in diameter), is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet (6 m) but less than 50 feet (15 m), the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used. For cable runs over 50 feet (15 m)
RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure.
6
To get the coax cable through a fitting and into the boat’s interior, you may have to cut the end plug off and reattach it later. Follow the direc tions that come with the connector to attach it. Be sure to make good soldered connections.
6.4 DISTRESS AND HAILING (CHANNEL 16)
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.).
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 switch and listen.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
NOTE
The transceiver has the DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to
section “ 11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)
”.
7
6.5 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.
It 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. waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.
Prior to contacting 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 the desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 to make initial contact.
When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, press the PTT switch 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 switch on the mic. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by pressing the PTT switch on the mic and saying “ go to ,” the number of the other channel, say “ over ” and release the PTT switch 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.

11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)
11.1 GENERAL
WARNING
This GX1850/GX1800 series is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. 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 but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 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). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with its own position, to the 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.
11.2 DISTRESS ALERT
The GX1850/GX1800 series is capable of transmitting and receiving DSC distress messages. Distress alerts transmitted from the transceiver include the latitude and longitude of the vessel when valid GPS position data is being received.
11.2.1 Transmitting a Distress Alert
NOTE
To be able to transmit a DSC distress alert, the MMSI number must be programmed, refer to section “
”.
In order for the ships location to be transmitted, the GX1850/GX1800 series must receive valid position data from the internal GPS receiver or another GPS device connected with a NMEA 0183 or NEMA 2000 network. Refer to section “

11.5 GROUP CALL
This feature allows users to automatically contact a specific group of vessels using DSC radios with the group call function. The called radios can automatically switch to the desired channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to make communal announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 group MMSIs may be programmed.
11.5.1 Setting up a Group Call
For this function to operate, the same group MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service
Identity Number) 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 MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship
MMSI denote the country where the ship’s MMSI is registered. 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 the vessel’s 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 International rules. All
Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”.
The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) recommends programming the MID of a ship MMSI into the Second, Third and Fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area where the ship is located.
50
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 in order to be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI.

REMOTE MIC OPERATION
When a remote microphone is connected to the GX1850/GX1800 series, all VHF,
DSC, setup menus, Navigation and GM (Group Monitor) functions can be remotely operated. The SSM-70H operation is the same as the GX1850/GX1800 series except for the receiver audio volume setting and the squelch level setting. The reason for combined controlling is to make the operation of the radio and SSM-
70H Remote Microphone uncomplicated. For specific operations of the SSM-70H
Remote Microphone, review sections in the transceiver operating manual. The
SSM-70H is supplied with 7 meters of routing cable and can be extended up to
21 meters using three 7-meter extension cables model CT-100 . The Intercom feature can be used between the SSM-70H and the GX1850/GX1800 series. In addition, speaker wires are supplied at the panel mount of the routing cable for external speakers to be connected for use in noisy environments.

NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: z
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that z to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device.

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT
CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY
INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE
UNDESIRED OPERATION.
Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by YAESU U.S.A. could void the User’s authorization to operate this device.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
