it in the CH1 location. Repeat the procedure to store two more favourite channels in |
|
the CH2 and CH3 locations respectively. |
|
If you try and add another favourite channel it will overwrite the existing CH3. CH1 |
|
and CH2 remain unless you delete them. |
|
To delete a favourite channel, select that channel then hold down 3CH until the CH1, |
|
CH2 or CH3 symbol disappears off the LCD. |

SCAN |
Scan (ALL SCAN & 3CH SCAN) |
|
|
There are two SCAN modes you can use to find the broadcast channel: |
|
|
• |
ALL SCAN mode scans ALL channels in sequence, and checks the priority |
|
|
channel every 2 seconds. |
|
• |
3CH SCAN mode scans the favorite channels and CH16. |
|
When a signal is received, scanning stops at that channel and BUSY appears on the |
|
|
LCD. If the signal ceases for more than 5 seconds, the scan restarts. |
|
|
Press SCAN or PTT to stop at the current channel. |
|
|
If you are in NAVIGATION mode and want to scan the DSC channels while staying in |
|
|
that mode, just hold down SCAN. |
|
|
Note: SCAN functionality is limited in some European countries and, if ATIS mode is |
|
|
enabled, the 3CH SCAN mode will be disabled and an error beep will sound. |
|
|
Note: The weather channel is also scanned if TONE ALERT or SAME is ON (US only). |
|
|
ALL SCAN mode: |
|
|
Hold down SCAN for about 3 seconds to start an ALL SCAN. ALL SCAN appears on the |
|
|
LCD. |
|
|
Press ENT to temporarily skip over (lock out) an “always busy” channel when in ALL |
|
|
SCAN mode. SKIP is shown on the top line of the LCD to designate a skipped |
|
|
channel. SKIP will disappear when the radio is powered OFF/ON. With scanning OFF |
|
|
and the SKIP channel selected, press ENT to cancel the skipped channel. |
|
|
Note: It is not possible to skip over the priority channel. |
|
|
Press SCAN to stop at the current channel. |
|
|
Press EXIT to cancel scan mode and return to normal operation. |
|
|
3CH SCAN mode |
|
|
With any of your three favorite channels selected (by pressing the 3CH key) hold down |
|
|
SCAN to start all 3CH scanning. Press SCAN again to stop at the broadcast channel, |
|
|
or press EXIT to quit 3CH SCAN and return automatically to the previous broadcast |
|
|
channel. |

3-6 GPS data and time (GPS/DATA)
If the boat has an operational GPS navigation receiver and is connected by NMEA port, the VHF radio automatically detects and updates the vessel position and the local time.
However, if the GPS navigation receiver is disconnected or absent, you can specify the vessel position and the local time manually, using the GPS/DATA option.
This information is important because it will be used if a DSC distress call is transmitted.
•If GPS data is NOT available for some reason, the NO GPS alert will sound for 5 seconds (or until you press any key) and the radio requests you to enter the position data manually
•This request is repeated every 4 hours if you do not enter the position data manually. After you have entered the position data manually, you must update it within 23.5 hours otherwise the NO GPS alert sequence repeats
•The NO GPS warning will be shown whenever GPS data is not available from an operational GPS navigation receiver.
