Page 8: Getting Started
5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 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 marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essen- tially “line of sight”... -
Page 9: Coaxial Cable
5.2.1 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet (6 m), RG-58/U (about 0.25" (6 mm) in diameter), is a good choice. -
Page 10: Emergency ( Channel 16 Use )
5.3 EMERGENCY ( CHANNEL 16 USE ) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency is defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the trans- ceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure: 1. -
Page 11: Operating On Channels 13 And 67 (Usa Channel Group Only)
not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 are some of the channels avail- able to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. -
