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 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 xed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater
than 15.5 miles (25 km), for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected
distance can be greater than 5 miles (8 km) in “line of sight”.
5.2 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 3.3 feet (1 m), 3 dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3.3 feet (1 m) 3 dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat
mast. The longer 8.2 feet (2.5 m) 6 dB berglass whip is primarily used on
power boats that require the additional gain.
Page 8
3dB
6dB
9dB
GX1300
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 specied 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. For runs over 20 feet (6 m) but less than 50 feet (15 m), the
larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used. For cable runs over 50 feet (15 m)
RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial
cable refer to the gure below.
To get your coax cable through a tting 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 are supplied with the connector.
Be sure to make good soldered connections.
GX1300

5.3 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE
Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency is
dened 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,
Mayday. 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 harbour entry.
4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, re, heart
attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).
5. State the kind of assistance you 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.
)
NOTE
The GX1300 have DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress
call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section “9
DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING”.
5.4 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 European, 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
signicantly in U.S. waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing)
channel for non-emergency communications. Here, also, calling time should
Page 10
)
GX1300
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 available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel
in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other trafc, 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.
5.5 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67 (USA Channel Group Only)
Channel 13 is used at docks, 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 trafc 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
channels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily
use a higher power. See page 23 (H/L key) for means to temporarily override
the low-power limit on these two channels.

6 INSTALLATION
6.1 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• keeps the radio and microphone at least 3 feet (1 m) away from your
vessel’s magnetic navigation compass
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet (1 m) from radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass, or that the radios
performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the
radio in the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
6.2 MOUNTING THE RADIO
6.2.1 Supplied Mounting Bracket
The supplied mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting.
Use a 0.2" (5.2 mm) bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 0.4" (10
mm) thick and can support more than 3.3 lb (1.5 kg). Secure the bracket with
the supplied screws, spring washers, at washers, and nuts.

8 BASIC OPERATION
8.1 RECEPTION
1. After the GX1300 has been installed, ensure that the power supply and
antenna are properly connected.
2. Turn the VOL knob clockwise until it clicks to turn the transceiver on.
3. Turn the SQL knob fully counterclockwise. This state is known as “squelch
off”.
4. Turn the VOL knob until noise or audio from the speaker is at a comfortable level.
5. Turn the SQL knob clockwise until the random noise disappears. This
state is known as the “squelch threshold.”
6. Press the ▲ or ▼ keys to select the desired channel. Refer to the
channel chart on page 104 for available channels.
7. When a message is received, adjust the volume to the desired listening level with the VOL knob. The “BUSY” indicator appears on the LCD
indicating that the channel is being used.
8.2 TRANSMISSION
1. Perform steps 1 through 6 of RECEPTION.
2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel to ensure it is clear.
THIS IS AN FCC REQUIREMENT!
3 Press and hold the PTT (push-to-talk) switch of the microphone. The “TX”
indicator appears on the LCD.
4. Speak slowly and clearly into the microphone.
5. When the transmission is nished, release the PTT switch.
8.3 TRANSMIT TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT
When the PTT switch on the microphone is held down, transmit time is limited to 5 minutes. This limits unintentional transmissions due to a stuck microphone. About 10 seconds before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning
beep will be heard from the speaker(s). The transceiver will automatically
go to receive mode, even if the PTT switch is continually held down. Before
transmitting again, the PTT switch must rst be released and then pressed
again.
NOTE
When a transmission was shut down by the TOT, the GX1300 can not
transmit afterwards for 10 seconds.

9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
9.1 GENERAL
WARNING
The GX1300 is designed to generate digital maritime distress and
safety calls to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety
device, this equipment must be used only within communication range
of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch
system. The range of signal may vary, however under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 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.
This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS
position (when 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.
9.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI
)
9.2.1 What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine radios 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 DSC FUNCTIONS.
How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?
Please contact the Radio Licensing Authority for your country for information
on how to obtain an MMSI number.

The GX1300 is capable of transmitting and receiving DSC distress messages to all DSC radios. The GX1300 may be connected to a GPS to also transmit the latitude and longitude of the vessel.
NOTE
If a GPS with NMEA output is not connected to the radio, the GX1300
will beep 10 minutes after the radio is turned on and will continue to
beep every 4 hours alerting to connect a GPS.
9.3.1 Transmitting a DSC Distress Alert
NOTE
To be able to transmit a DSC distress alert, a MMSI number must be
programmed (refer to section “9.2.2 Programming the MMSI”).
In order for your vessel's location to be transmitted, either connect a GPS to
the GX1300 (refer to section “6.4 ACCESSORY CABLE”) or manually input
your position (refer to section “9.9 MANUAL INPUTTING OF THE GPS
LOCATION”).
Basic Operation

9.4 ALL SHIPS CALL
SN
The all ships call function allows contact to be established with DSC
equipped vessels without having their MMSI in the individual calling directory. Also, priority for the call can be designated as "urgency" or "safety".
URGENCY Call: This type of call is used when a vessel may not truly be
in distress, but has a potential problem that may lead to a
distress situation. This call is the same as saying “PAN PAN,
PAN PAN, PAN PAN” on channel 16.
SAFETY Call: This type of call is used to transmit boating safety informa-
tion to other vessels. This message usually contains information about an overdue boat, debris in the water, loss of a
navigation aid or an important meteorological message. This
call is the same as saying “Securite, Securite, Securite.”

9.6 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specic vessels (example
members of a yacht club) with a group MMSI number using the group call
function to automatically switch to a desired channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling
together that want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined
channel. The GX1300 can store up to 20 group call entries.
9.6.1 Setting up a Group Call
For this function to operate the same group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this
feature. To understand about group MMSI programming, rst a Ship MMSI
has to be understood.
Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of
a ship MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last
6 digits are specic to the ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is
“366123456”, “366” is MID which denote the country and “123456” is the
ships ID for you.
Group MMSI:
Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organiza-
tions licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers.
The rst digit of a group MMSI is always set to “0” by the international
rules. All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a
group MMSI the rst digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the
second, third and fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area
the ship is located in.
The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the group. This is an
important step as all radios in the group must contain the same group
MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that
another group of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this
happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group
MMSI.

9.7 POSITION REQUEST
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX1300.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard
Horizon GPS is connected to the GX1300, the polled position of the vessel is
shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to
the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to
know the position of another vessel. For example your friend that is catching
sh, or nding the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to
its DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position requests. (Refer the section “9.5.1 Setting up the Individual /
Position Call Directory” to enter information into the individual directory).
