Introduction
This handbook describes the Ray101 portable VHF marine radio. The
Ray101 provides two-way communications on all US, Canadian and
International marine channels and ten weather channels.
Conventions Used
Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold
capitals (for example: SCAN/SAVE). The LCD indicators and functions are
shown in normal capitals (for example: TX).
➤ Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a
sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by an arrow icon shown in
the margin.

1.3 Licensing Requirements
Raymarine radios comply with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and Industry Canada requirements that regulate marine VHF radio
usage for the US and Canada, respectively. Marine VHF radio users in the US
must comply with all applicable FCC rules and regulations, some of which
are described here and in Section 5.
This information was current at the time this handbook was printed. Up-todate information, including licensing requirements, can be obtained on the
FCC website at:
www.fcc.gov/wtb/marine
Official FCC forms can be obtained on the FCC website at:
www.fcc.gov/formpage.html
FCC Notice
This device complies with Parts 15 and 80 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the conditions that this device does not cause harmful
interference. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved in writing by Raymarine, Incorporated could violate compliance
with FCC rules and void the operator’s authority to operate the equipment.

An FCC Ship Radio Station License and Call Sign are not required for most
recreational vessels travelling in US waters. Examples of radio equipment
that do not require a license include: marine VHF radios, any type of
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), any type of radar,
GPS or LORAN receivers, depth finders, CB radio, or amateur radio (an
amateur license is required). However, you must obtain a license if: (1) you
are required by law or treaty to carry a radio on your vessel; (2) your vessel
travels to foreign ports; (3) you use marine radio equipment on board your
vessel other than the devices listed above. Ships that use MF/HF single sideband radio, satellite communications, or telegraphy must be licensed by the
FCC. If necessary, you can obtain a Station License by filing FCC Form 605,
which is available from the FCC website listed above.

4.3 Setting the Squelch
The Squelch circuit sets the threshold for cutting off
the receiver when the signal is too weak for reception
of anything but noise.
To properly set the squelch, rotate the SQ knob
counterclockwise until audio is heard.
Then rotate clockwise until background noise
disappears.
4.4 Setting the Power Output
The choice of power output is dependent upon the distance of transmission
and transmitting conditions.
Press and release the HL/USER key to toggle the TX power from LOW (1
watt to HIGH (5 watts). The corresponding LO or HI indicator appears on the
LCD.
Note: Some channels are limited by regulation to be low power only. If the
HILO operation request is denied, an error tone beeps.

Overriding the Low Output Power Restriction
In the US, channels 13 and 67 can temporarily
override the low power restriction.
➤ To override the LO power restriction on
channels 13 or 67 and transmit at high power:
Press and hold and hold the HL/USER key as
you press and hold the PTT key. The TX power is
set to HI power for as long as you hold down
both keys.
4.5 Setting the Channel
Press and release the UP arrow to increment
the channel number.
Press and release the DOWN arrow to
decrement the channel.
Press and hold either key for rapid channel
scrolling.
4.6 Selecting a Weather Channel
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
broadcasts continuous weather reports and severe weather alerts, as needed.
The Ray101 is programmed to receive10 NOAA weather channels and
sound an alarm if a weather alert is received.
Press and release the WX/BAND key to enter Weather mode. The WX
indicator appears.
Press Channel UP/DOWN to change the WX channel 0 through Channel 9.

Ray101 Handheld VHF Radio
Press and release the WX/BAND key again to return to normal operation.
Note:
1. Weather broadcasts can only be heard in the US and Canada.
2. During Weather mode, the PTT, SCAN/SAVE, DW/TRI and HL/USER
keys are disabled and an error beep sounds if pressed.
Weather Alert Operation
Weather Alert is toggled ON and OFF by pressing and holding WX/BAND
button in the weather mode. The ALERT icon illuminates.
When Weather Alert function is enabled and the radio is tuned to the normal
working channel, the last-used weather channel is checked every 30 seconds
for weather alert tone. If the alert tone is detected, the WX and ALERT
indicators flash and a short alarm tone sounds.
The radio automatically turns to the currently-monitored WX channel where
the weather alert has been detected. The alert is detected in all modes of
operation (Standby, Dual and Tri Watch, Scan, etc.)

4.13 Using the Scan Modes
The RAY101 is equipped with three types of scan options: All Scan, Saved
(Memory) Scan and Priority Scan. If there are no channels in memory, the
default is All Scan.
This function automatically searches for broadcasting channels. If a TX
signal is received, the scan stops on the receiving channel as long as it is
present. If the signal is lost for five seconds, the radio resumes scanning.
During the Scan Modes:
• Press the Channel UP/DOWN key to change the scan direction.
UP increments the channel while DOWN decrements it.
• Press and release SCAN/SAVE to terminate the SCAN mode and return to
the last-used channel
• DW/TRI and WX/BAND keys will not function and sounds an error
beep if pressed
All Scan
Press and release the SCAN/SAVE key when no channels are stored in
memory to activate the All Scan function.
The SCAN indicator appears on the LCD during All Scan.
In All Scan mode, all channels in the
channel set are scanned in sequence,
assuming no channels have been stored in
memory. After the last channel number has
been scanned, the cycle repeats.
All Scan is demonstrated in the figure to
the left.

number has been scanned, the cycle repeats.
Saved Scan is demonstrated in the figure to
the left.
Note: Whenever Weather Alert is activated, the WX Alert channel is also
monitored during Saved Scan. If the WX Alert tone is detected, the scan is
halted to broadcast the Weather Alert message.

transmit side of an international duplex channel. Operations are different from that
of international operations on that channel.
2. Channel 13 should be used to contact a ship when there is danger of collision. All
ships of length 20 meters or greater are required to guard VHF channel 13, in addition to VHF channel 16, when operating within U.S. territorial waters.

Intership channels are for communications between ship stations.
Intership communications should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77.
If these are not available, the other channels marked for Intership may be used.
Channels 10, 67 and 73 should be avoided within VHF range of coastal areas in Europe
and Canada.
Notes:
1. Channel 06 may also be used for communications between ship stations and aircraft engaged in coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations should
avoid harmful interference to such communications on channel 06 as well as to
communications between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during
ice seasons.
2. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location) are also used for the broadcast of
Marine Safety Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency in the UK
only.
3. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications.
4. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the
effective radiated power does not exceed 1 Watt.
5. Channel 70 is to be used exclusively for digital selective calling for distress, safety
and calling.
6. The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communication only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to
channel 16, e.g., by limiting power to 1 Watt or by means of geographical location.
