7 GETTING STARTED
7.1 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 essentially
“line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings,
hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type,
gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount
25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles.
7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA
Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the
signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called
the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major
factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP),
antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical
antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much
gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The
longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require
the additional gain.
GX1000SPage 8
Page 9
7.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable –
a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and
construction.
For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good
choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be
used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used. For installation of the
connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
1/16''
3/4''
1 1/8''
Adapter
3/4''
1/8''
5/8''3/8''
To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you
may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if
you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make
good soldered connections.

test the GX1000S’s NOAA Weather alert feature, on Wednesday between 11AM
and 1PM, setup as in previous section and confirm the alert is heard.
10.7 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 transceiver is
on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:
1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, May-day. This is , , ” (your vessel’s name).
2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name).
3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation
aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.
4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart
attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).
5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).
6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.
7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.
8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other
distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.
9. End the message by saying “OVER.” Release the microphone button and
listen.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
10.8 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.
)
)
However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel
must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.
It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels.
Use of channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute
intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting
from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters by
using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency
communications. Here, also, calling time should 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
Page 23GX1000S
Page 24
manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial
contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 are some of the channels available
to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back
to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel
you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and
your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the other
channel, and “over.” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel
is not busy, call the other vessel.
After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk
(PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end
the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it
is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the
beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some
radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or
when scanning.
10.9 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS
To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The
fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to
ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Pub-lic Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some
examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87.
Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name, The marine
operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card,
collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.
The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using
may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.
10.10 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67
Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port.
Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and
passing in restricted waters.
Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.
By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your
radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these chan-
GX1000SPage 24
Page 25
nels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a
higher power. See page 16 ([H/L] key) for means to temporarily override the
low-power limit on these two channels.
10.11 SCANNING
Allows the user to select the scan type from Memory scan or Priority scan.
“Memory scan” scans the channels that were programmed into memory. “Priority scan” scans the channels programmed in memory with the priority channel (channel 16).

11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
11.1 GENERAL
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety
call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device,
this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shorebased VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The
range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
NOTE
A DSC Warning sticker is included with the
GX1000S. To comply with FCC regulations
this sticker must be mounted in a location
that can be easily viewed from the location
of the GX1000S. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the
sticker.
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio
call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It
has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches
on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
WARNING
STICKER
DISTRESS
PULL OPEN
When the radio is shipped from the factory it is programmed so CH70 (the
DSC channel) is scanned at all times.
This new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS
position (when a GPS is connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and
other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to
initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST,
POSITION SEND, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a
DSC transceiver.

11.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI
)
11.2.1 What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceivers capable of using
Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to
selectively call other vessels.
THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE
THE GX1000S DSC FUCTIONS.
How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

when connected to
power supply.
Popping or whining
noise from the speaker
while engine runs.
Sound is not emitted
from the internal or external speaker.
Receiving station report low transmit
power, even with transceiver set to HI power.

fuse.
Reversed power
wires.
Engine noise.
Accessory cable.
Antenna.
The power supply
voltage is too high or
too low.
Accessory cable.
Setting of the GPS
navigation receiver.
REMEDY
a. Check the 12VDC battery connections and
the fuse.
b. The VOL knob needs to be rotated clockwise
to turn the radio on.
Check the power cable for DC voltage, or replace the fuse (6A 250V).
Make sure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post, and the black wire is connected to the negative (-) battery post. If the fuse
still blows, contact your Dealer.
Reroute the DC power cables away from the
engine. Add noise suppressor on power cable.
Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add
an alternator whine filter.
Check the connections of the accessory cable
(Possible short circuit on the External speaker
cable WHITE/SHIELD).
Have the antenna checked or test the transceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
Confirm that the connected power supply voltage is not 17 volts or lower than 10 volts. Confirm that the generator has not malfunctioned.
Check the accessory cable connection.
Some GPS use the battery ground line for
NMEA connection.
Check the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183
format with GLL, RMB, GGA, or GNS sentence
as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate
setting make sure to select 4800 and parity to
NONE.

14 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for
U.S.A. and International use. Below are listed some data about the charts.
1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s
Vessel Traffic System.
2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A
(such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian
channel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignments
are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers.
If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to
“go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set
for International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and
will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel
22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/
I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on the
display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based on the U/I/C setting.
3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge
operators on intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine
vessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for
these channels. See page 28 for additional information.
4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Sim-plex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party
at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your
microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct
mode of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select a
channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-totalk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio.
5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the
term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of
these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.
6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.

In addition to the warranty, STANDARD HORIZON includes a lifetime “flat
rate” and “customer loyalty” programs to provide service after the warranty
period has expired. If you wish to obtain the flat rate price for out-of-warranty repair, you must include the information on the Owner’s Record with
the unit when you return it to your Dealer or to STANDARD HORIZON.
Lifetime Flat Rate Service Program: For the original Owner only, for the
lifetime of the unit, STANDARD HORIZON will repair the unit to original
specifications.
Note: The flat rate amount is payable by the Owner only if STANDARD
HORIZON or the STANDARD HORIZON Dealer determines that a repair is needed. After the repair, a 90-day warranty will be in effect from
the date of return of the unit to the Owner.
This service program is not available for equipment which has failed as
a result of neglect, accident, breakage, misuse, improper installation or
modification, or water damage (depending on the product).
