3. BASIC RADIO COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE

Distress or emergency calls may be made either manually or automatically. Sending
distress calls automatically uses the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions of your
transceiver and requires an operating and properly connected navigation receiver.
The following procedures are for sending voice distress messages manually.
Sending an automatic distress call is described in the DSC section of this manual.

3.1 Using Channel 16

Channel 16 is the Calling and Distress channel. An emergency may be defined as a
situation that threatens human life or property. In such situations, make sure your
transceiver is turned On and set the channel selector to Channel 16. Then use the
following procedure to make a distress call. The total transmission should not exceed
1 minute.

1. Press the microphone Push To Talk button. Speak slowly and clearly into
the microphone: “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, this is your vessel’s name,
your vessel’s name, your vessel’s name”.

2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, your vessel’s name”.

3. Continue by reporting your position in latitude and longitude or by
reporting your bearing (true or magnetic, specify which) and distance from
a prominent or well known landmark, geographic feature or aid to
navigation.

4. Explain the nature of your emergency (fire, sinking, collision, grounding,
health condition, injury, etc.).

5. Report the kind of assistance you require (fire, medical aid, pumps, etc.).

6. State the number of people aboard and the condition of any injured.

7. Estimate the seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.

8. Describe your vessel: length, type, color and any distinguishing feature.

9. End the message by saying “Over”. Release the Push To Talk button and
listen for a reply.

10. If there is no reply, repeat the above message procedure. If there is still no
response, try another channel.

10 MT-700

3.2 Calling Another Vessel

Channel 16 may be used to establish initial contact with another vessel. However, its
most important use is for voice emergency messages. Channel 16 must be monitored
at all times except when engaged in actual communication on another channel.
Channel 16 is monitored by international search and rescue (SAR) authorities,
National Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of Channel 16 for calling or hailing
must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds and
may be repeated 3 times at 2 minute intervals.

Prior to making contact with another vessel, determine which channel will be used for
continued communication after the initial contact. Monitor the desired channel for
traffic and, when clear, switch to Channel 16 to make initial contact.

Listen for traffic on the Calling Channel (16). If clear, press the Push To Talk (

PTT

)
button on the microphone. Speak the name of the vessel you are calling followed by
“This is” and the name of your vessel and your call sign. Release the

PTT

and listen
for a reply. When the other vessel returns your call, acknowledge the call with “go
to”, the number of the new channel and “over”. Switch to the new channel and listen
for traffic. If necessary, wait for traffic to clear, and then call the other vessel. As
communication proceeds, end each transmission with “over”. When communication
with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission with your call sign and
the word “out”. It is not necessary to end each transmission with your call sign, just
give your call sign at the beginning and end of each contact.

Remember to switch to Channel 16 when not actively communicating on another
channel.

3.3 Telephone Calls

You may use your

MT-700

transceiver to make telephone calls to persons on shore.
To do so requires the services of marine operators who operate on designated Public
Correspondence channels. There are several channels designated for this type of
traffic and to determine the channel being used in your area, ask someone with local
knowledge, contact a Harbor Master or other marine authority.

Call the marine operator and identify yourself with your vessel’s name. Normally
you contact a marine operator on their working channel rather than making initial
contact on Channel 16. The marine operator will ask for your intentions and
establish a payment method for the call (collect, credit card, etc.). When
arrangements are complete, your radio communication will be patched into the
telephone line. In conversing with a person on the phone it is important to use

MT-700 11

normal radio communication procedures. You should say ”over” and release the

PTT

button at the end of each transmission. Both parties cannot speak

simultaneously as on normal telephone calls.

Usually there is a fee for marine operator services which is charged in addition to any
other charges associated with the call.

3.4 Prohibited Communication

The following communications are prohibited by regulations and violators are subject
to penalties.

•

False distress or emergency messages (including false DSC distress).

•

Messages to “any vessel” except in emergencies and radio tests.

•

Messages to or from a vessel on land.

•

Transmission while on land.

•

Obscene, indecent, or profane language.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 Transceiver

Your

MT-700

Transceiver is designed to withstand the rigors of the marine
environment. However, selecting a mounting location affording some protection
from the elements will prolong the life of connectors, controls and the liquid crystal
display (LCD).

Select a location within easy reach and view of the operator and away from your
vessel’s compass. Locate the microphone to avoid entanglement with steering or
engine controls, both when in use and when stowed. Also, consider routing of
antenna, power and NMEA interface cables. Mount the transceiver securely to a
solid surface.

4.2 Antenna

Proper installation of a quality VHF antenna is very important to reliable radio
communication. A good quality unity gain antenna is recommended for maximum
range performance. In general, antennas should be located as high as practical and
separated as much as possible from other antennas and structures. The minimum
distance to other objects is 1 meter. Route the antenna cable away from other
electronic equipment and do not bundle the antenna or power cable with other wiring,
especially transducer cables for depth sounders and fish finders. For cables longer
than 10 meters, RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used. Mount the antenna and install
the connector(s) in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the
antenna cable to the RF output connector on the rear panel of the transceiver.

6. OPERATING PROCEDURES

6.1 Primary Calling Channel

VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) is the Distress Safety and Primary Calling Channel. All
vessels, not actively engaged in communication, are required to maintain a listening
watch on Channel 16.

6.2 Transmitting

The transmitter is activated, for normal voice communications, by pressing the Push
To Talk (

PTT

) button on the microphone. Always listen for moment on a channel
before transmitting. If the channel is busy, do not transmit until the channel is clear.
For DSC calling and Distress calls, the transmitter is activated automatically during the
appropriate operating procedure. After DSC contact is established, proceed as in
normal voice communication. Continuous transmitter operation is limited to five
minutes and the transmitter will automatically stop.

To establish normal voice communication:

•

Press the

key to select the Primary Calling Channel. The Primary

Calling Channel is 16. The Primary Calling Channel number appears in the
upper left corner of the display.

•

Listen on the Primary Calling Channel to make sure the channel is clear.

•

Press the

PTT

button. Speak directly into the microphone in a normal tone of
voice --clearly--distinctly. Say “(name of vessel being called) THIS IS (your
vessel’s name and call sign).”

•

Release the

PTT

button and listen for a reply.

•

Once contact is made on the Primary Calling Channel, each vessel must switch to

a working channel to continue conversation. Refer to the channel chart for
proper usage.

•

After communication is completed, each vessel must give its call sign or vessel

name and switch to the Primary Calling Channel and resume listening watch.

24 MT-700

6.3 Working Channel Recall

Rather than using the

SELECT/ENT

knob or microphone keys to change channels, this
feature allows quick switching between the last working channel and the current
primary channel.

To quickly switch between the last working channel and the Primary Calling Channel:

•

Use the

SELECT/ENT

knob or microphone keys to select a working channel, such

as channel 68.

•

Press the

key momentarily. The current primary channel number

appears in the channel number display.

•

Press the

key again momentarily. The working channel number

appears in the display. Each time the key is pressed, channel selection toggles
between the primary channel and the working channel.

6.4 Transmitter Power Setting

The transmitter has two power settings, 25 watts or 1 watt, which are indicated by HI
or LO appearing in the upper line of the display. The normal power setting is HI for
all channels where 25 watts is allowed. Use the 1 watt setting for communication
with nearby vessels (bridge-to-bridge) or facilities (drawbridges).

•

Press the

key to toggle transmitter power between 25 watts and 1 watt

output.

SPECIAL NOTE

Channels 15, 17, 75 and 76 are restricted to 1 watt maximum power and will cause the
error beep if the

HI/LO

key is pressed.

6.5 Channel Scanning

There are three channel scanning modes; Priority Scan, All Scan and Memory Scan.
In the Priority Scan mode, Channel 16 is checked for activity every 2 seconds, even if,
the scan is halted by traffic on a working channel. When scanning is halted by traffic,
the scan pauses while the channel is active. Scanning resumes, after a brief delay
when the channel is clear. If the

PTT

is pressed, in reply to a received signal, scanning

is cancelled.

Memory Scan

Memory Scan allows the user to create and scan a bank of preferred channels.
Channels may be added to or removed from the memory channel bank as desired.
Memory channels are stored individually and may be deleted individually, or the
entire bank may be deleted. If the

PTT

button is pressed, the transceiver exits

scanning and normal communication is resumed.

To create or add channels to the memory channel bank:

•

Press the

key. The Memory Scan channel bank appears in lower two

lines of the display. If no channels have been previously added to the bank, the
Primary Calling Channel (16) is displayed. Otherwise, up to six channel
numbers appear. A plus sign (+) at the end of the lower line indicates more

than six channels are stored in the bank. Press the

key again to advance

8. DSC OPERATION

The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions of your

MT-700

transceiver add
convenience and safety to your VHF communication capability. DSC allows you to
contact other DSC equipped vessels and shore stations by selecting their names from
your personal call directory, choosing a call type, and pressing a key. In an
emergency, pressing one button will send your vessel ID and current position to
search and rescue (SAR) authorities and other DSC equipped vessels. Distress calls
are covered first. Then, normal calling procedures are described.

Position reporting requires connection to an operating GPS navigation receiver or
manually entered Lat/Lon coordinates. If data from your GPS is lost, 3 quick error
beeps are sounded and the following warning screen appears in the display every 4
hours.

INT

16 PRI. HI

topic of the

6.7 Main Menu Topics

. If Lat/Lon
coordinates are entered manually but have not been updated for 23.5 hours, the
position fields are set to the repeated “9” and time field is set to the repeated “8”.

8.1 MMSID

SPECIAL NOTE

In order to use DSC functions, you must obtain a nine-digit maritime mobile service
identity (MMSI) and program it into your transceiver before you transmit.

Prior to obtaining an MMSI, you will be asked to provide certain information about
your vessel and communication equipment. Contact the government radio
communication authorities of your country for licensing and MMSI information. It is
important that you obtain an MMSI, because National Coast Guard authorities use
this information to help speed search and rescue operations.

The procedure for entering your MMSI is described in the

MMSID SET

topic of the

6.7 Main Menu Topics

In such cases you should maintain a listening watch on channel 16 and standby to
lend assistance. Your

MT-700

does not automatically reply to, or relay, distress or

ACK or relay DSC calls.

Distress sent by another vessel

If your

8.4 Normal DSC Calls

Your

MT-700

can transmit the types of DSC calls; Distress, All Ship’s, Individual, and

Group. Except for Distress, each call type is subdivided into one or more priorities.

All Ship’s type transmits two priorities: Urgency and Safety.

Individual type transmits one priority: Routine.

Group type transmits one priority: Routine.

Also

MT-700

can transmit the calls of advanced Individual Routine priority; Position
Send, and Position Request. Lat/Lon position from another vessel can be transferred
to the DSC equipped chart plotter, if it is connected.

A normal DSC call may be originated from your vessel to another DSC equipped
vessel or to a coast station, or you may reply to a DSC call sent by another vessel or a
coast station. Outgoing calls are made either by selecting a vessel or station name
from your directory or by manually entering the vessel or station MMSID number
(Position Send and Position Request are made from your directory only).

Replies to any incoming call type can be made directly from the call log. The call log
(LAST CALL) holds thirty two entries and the last call received is on top of the list. If
the call log is full, the oldest entry is lost.

Individual DSC Call

Individual calls can be made to another vessel or to a coast station. It is important to
be able to differentiate between the two. When calling another vessel, the
communication channel is specified in the call by the calling vessel. If
communicating with a coast station, it is the coast station in its acknowledgment that
determines the channel. Your

MT-700

transceiver transmits Routine individual calls,

but receives both Routine and Safety individual calls.

- Directory Call

Directory calls are made by selecting a vessel or station name from the calling

Name or ID of

Vessel in Distress

MT-700 53

directory. The calling directory holds thirty two of your previously entered names
that you routinely contact during normal boating activities.

8.5 Receiving DSC Calls

Your

MT-700

can receive four types of DSC calls; Distress, All Ship’s, Individual, and

Group. Except for Distress, each call type is subdivided into one or more priorities.

All Ship’s type receives the following priorities: Distress ACK, Distress Relay,
Urgency, and Safety.

Individual type receives the following priorities: Safety and Routine.

Group type receives one priority: Routine.

Also

MT-700

can receive the calls of advanced Individual Routine priority; Position
Send, and Position Request. Lat/Lon position from another vessel can be transferred
to the DSC equipped chart plotter, if it is connected.

When your

MT-700

receives a DSC call from another vessel or a coast station, an alert
sounds and a Call Received screen appears in the display. The Call Received screen
identifies the time of a call, the caller, the type and the priority of a call. Also, a
number appears in the screen indicating the number of calls in the log. The call log
holds thirty two entries.

10.5 Channel Assignments

The Channel Assignment tables on the following pages list the channel number,
frequency and usage for Marine VHF communication.

Depending upon your selection, certain channels may be either simplex (single
frequency) or duplex (two frequencies) as indicated in the tables. On simplex
channels, your transceiver transmits and receives on the same frequency. On duplex
channels, your transceiver transmits on one frequency and receives on another
frequency. You may communicate with shore stations on both simplex and duplex
channels, but because of the frequency offset, you cannot communicate with other
vessels on a duplex channel.

Channel 16 is the International Distress, Safety and Calling channel. All vessels
equipped with VHF transceivers are required to monitor channel 16.
