Standard Horizon HX370E Owner's Manual page 3

Congratulations on your purchase of the HX370E! Whether this is your first
portable marine VHF transceiver, or if you have other STANDARD HORIZON
equipment, the STANDARD HORIZON organization is committed to ensur-
ing your enjoyment of this high-performance transceiver, which should pro-
vide you with many years of satisfying communications even in the harshest
of environments.
We appreciate your purchase of the HX370E, and encourage you to read
this manual thoroughly, so as to learn and understand the capabilities of the
HX370E fully.
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 de-
pends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power
output of the transmitter. The approximate distance a portable 5W radio
may communicate is about 5 miles in if there are no obstructions (build-
ings, hills etc.) restricting line of sight transmission.
The HX370E is capable of PC programming 40 LMR (Land Mobile Ra-
dio) channels by a dealer. The frequency range is 137 to 174MHz which
may be setup for 25kHz (wide) or 12.5kHz (narrow) channel stepping
with CTCSS and DCS signaling. Contact your dealer for further details.
This transceiver works on frequencies which are not generally permitted.
For frequency allocation, apply for a licence at your local spectrum man-
agement authority.
For actual usage contact your dealer or
sales shop in order to get your trans-
ceiver adjusted to the allocated fre-
quency range.
