CH CONFIG Menu

The [CH CONFIG] menu sets the TRX state, communication type and output power for every
channel.
Note 1: An exclamation mark (!) appears to the left of a channel number when you change that
channel's configuration. After the screen is saved the mark disappears.
Note 2: Entry of ATIS is required to show INLAND-W channels.
Procedure
1. Use the 4 or 6 key to select the region ([INT'L], [USA], [WX:U], [CANADA], [WX:C],
[INLAND-W], [PRIVATE]).
2. Rotate the CH knob to select a channel.
3. Use the 7 key to select the TRX mode, [RX], [TRX], or [---] (disable TX and RX).
4. Use the 8 key to select [ON] in the MEM column to add the channel to the memory channel
list, or show [--] to not add the channel to the list. (CH16 cannot be removed from the memory
channel list.)
5. Use the 9 key to set [TYPE], duplex ([DUP]) or simplex ([SIMP]).
6. Use the 0 key to set [PWR]. The choices are [H_VAR], [H_#16], [L_PTT] and [L_FIX].
[H_VAR]: High or Low TX power can be selected with the HI/LO key. The TX power setting
is kept when the channel is changed and when the power is turned off.
[H_#16]: High or Low TX power can be selected with the HI/LO key. However, the TX pow-
er is automatically set to High after the channel is changed or the power is turned
off. For CH16.
[L_PTT]: TX power is fixed to Low. However, High or Low TX power can be selected, with
the HI/LO key, while the PTT switch is pressed. Meets the requirements of FCC
Rule 47 Part 80.80.
[L_FIX]: TX power is fixed to Low.
7. Press the MENU key to save the settings. (To escape without saving, press the CANCEL key
instead of the MENU key.)
Note: A proposal is underway to add satellite monitoring of Automatic Identification System (AIS)
equipped vessels, and the system intends to use VHF channels 75 and 76 (156.775 MHz and
156.825 MHz). When the system becomes operational, those channels will be disabled, in accor-
dance with the revised Radio Regulations.
