Radio setup

The Radio setup menu covers settings that are typically configured
at installation, and seldom need changing.
Local/Dist
Use LOCAL/DIST to improve the sensitivity of the receiver either
locally (LOCAL) or over distances (DIST).
LOCAL is not recommended for use in open sea conditions. It is
designed for use in areas of high radio noise; for example, close to a
busy port or city.
UIC
Select between USA, International or Canadian channel banks. The
selected channel bank is displayed on the LCD along with the last
used channel. All the channel charts are shown in chapter 8.
¼ Note:
UIC may not be available on all models.
Power output
Select to toggle between high (25 W) or low (1 W) transmission
power for the entire channel bank. The HI or LO selection is shown
on the LCD. Low power transmission draws significantly less current
(about 1/4) from the battery, so is recommended for short range
communication, and where battery capacity is limited.
¼ Note:
Some channels can't be switched to high power, and will
show LO regardless of power output setting in menu.
CH name
CH NAME gives you the option to edit or delete the channel name
descriptions displayed on the screen.
Select to edit the existing description of the channel currently in
use. It can be a maximum of 12 characters long.
Key beep
Select to allow adjustment of key beep volume.
Volume can be set from 00 - 10 (where 00 is off, and 10 is loudest).
Units
Select SPEED to choose whether displayed in KNOTS, MPH, or KPH
Select COURSE to toggle between displaying in MAGNETIC or TRUE.
