    1 GENERAL INFORMATION The GX1150 ECLIPSE DSC+ is a VHF/FM transceiver designed for use in the frequency range of 156.025 to 163.275 MHz. The GX1150 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts. The GX1150 is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class D (indepen- dent Channel 70 receiver) operation which allows continuous receiving of Digi- tal Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call.

  • Page 10: Getting Started

    8 GETTING STARTED 8.1 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 ma- rine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight”...
  • Page 11: Coaxial Cable

    8.3 COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by 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 should be used.
  • Page 12: Emergency (Channel 16 Use)

    8.4 EMERGENCY ( CHANNEL 16 USE ) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency is de- fined 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.
