GX1000S Operating Manual
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.
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.
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.
8 INSTALLATION
8.1 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker
magnet
provides accessibility to the front panel controls
allows connection to a power source and an antenna
FCC ID: K6630303X3S
IC ID: 511B-30303X3S
GX1000S Operating Manual
has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or 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.
8.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio!
Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as
follows (see Figure 1):
1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the
antenna cable.
2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect the black power wire
to a negative ground.
3. If an optional remote extension speaker is to be used, refer to next section for connections.
4. It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output and the standing
wave ratio of the antenna after installation.
8.3 ACCESSORY CABLE
When connecting the external speaker or GPS navigation receiver, strip off about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of
the specified wire’s insulation, then splice the ends together using proper waterproofing techniques.
The GPS must have the NMEA Output turned on and set to 4800 Baud in the setup menu. If
there is a selection for parity select none.
For further information on interfacing /setting up your GPS. Please contact the manufacturer of
the GPS receiver.
