Pa/Fog Operation; Operating The Pa Hail Mode - Standard Horizon GX2200 Owner's Manual

8.11 PA/FOG OPERATION

The GX2200 has a 30W hailer built-in and can be used with any 4 Ohm PA
horn. Standard Horizon offers two HAIL/PA horns, the 220SW (5" round 30
Watt HAIL/PA horn) and the 240SW (5" x 8" rectangular 40 Watt HAIL/PA
horn). When the GX2200 is in PA Hail mode the PA speaker listens back (acts
as a microphone and provides two-way communications through the PA horn
to the main radio).
When in the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode, the GX2200 will continue
to receive DSC calls and communications on the last selected work-
ing channel prior to entering the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode.
Then the GX2200 AIS page can also be accessed when in the PA
HAIL or FOG HORN mode.
PA HAIL mode:
PA HAIL mode allows the transceiver to be used as a power hailer when
an optional STANDARD HORIZON 220SW or 240SW HAIL/PA horn is
installed. The PA Hail mode has a listen-back feature which provides two
way communication through the HAIL/PA horn.
FOG HORN mode:
Automatic signaling is transmitted through the HAIL/PA horn. When the
fog horn, bells or whistle signal is not being outputted the GX2200 listens
back through the connected PA horn.
