The NOAA provides several weather forecast channels on USA and Canadian channel banks. If severe weather such as storms or hurricanes are forecast, the NOAA broadcasts a weather alert on 1050 Hz.The NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) works in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to issue weather alerts for specific geographic areas or specific weather conditions. It uses a digital encoding system known as SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) to broadcast these alerts. Each transmitter in the NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) network is identified with a unique 6-digit SAME code. Each transmitter operates on one of 7 frequencies.Note: To activate a SAME alert, a SAME CODE (county ID) must be selected and turned ON (see section 4-8-2).4-8-1 TONE ALERTIf TONE ALERT is ON and an alert tone of 1050 Hz is broadcast from the NOAA weather station, the weather alert is picked up automatically and the alarm sounds.

Section 8 - Sending and receiving DSC Calls WARNINGA valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before these DSC functions can be used. See section 5-1.8-1 What is DSC? DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System). Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent maritime safety information. DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped with DSC functionality and within geographic range. Calls can be categorized as distress, urgency, safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically. 8-2 Sending DSC CallsYou can call any other person that has another DSC equipped radio.• Quick press the CALL / MENU key to access the following DSC CALL menu options – select LAST CALL to quickly call back the person who called you.• Note that only four DSC CALL menu options can be shown on the LCD at any one time. • Press + or – on the microphone or turn the Channel Select knob on the base station to scroll up or down through the menu until the cursor is positioned at the desired option.

Section 10 - AIS functionality WARNINGA valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before these AIS functions can be used. See section 5-1. 10-1 About AISThe marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.There are a number of types of AIS device as follows:• Class A transceivers. These are similar to class B transceivers, but they are designed to be fitted on large vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore can be received by more distant vessels, and also transmit more frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under the SOLAS regulations.• Class B transceivers. Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A transceivers.• AIS base stations. AIS base stations are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers.• Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoNs are transceivers mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping which transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels.• AIS receivers. AIS receivers will generally receive transmissions from class A transceivers, class B transceivers, AtoNs and AIS base stations but do not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed.This radio contains an AIS receiver only function.10-2 AIS - Static and dynamic informationDefined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received will vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference.• Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data has been amended, or upon request.• Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course alteration based on the following tables:Ships dynamic conditions Normal reporting intervalAt anchor or moored 3 Minutes0-14 knots 10 Seconds0-14 knots and changing course 3 1/3 Seconds14-23 knots 6 Seconds14-23 knots and changing course 2 Seconds Ship faster than 23 knots 2 SecondsShip faster than 23 knots and changing course 2 SecondsPlatforms condition Normal reporting intervalClass B Shipborne mobile equipment not moving faster than 2 Knots3 MinutesClass B Shipbome mobile equipment moving 2-14 Knots30 SecondsClass B Shipbome mobile equipment moving 14-23 Knots15 SecondsClass B Shipbome mobile equipment moving faster than 23 Knots5 SecondsSearch and Rescue aircraft (airborne mobile equipment)10 SecondsAids to Navigation 3 MinutesAIS base station 10 SecondsSource of information for above tables 1-1, 1-2: (ITU recommendations technical document: ITU-R M.1371-1)10-3 Using the AIS receiverProviding that other vessels with AIS transceivers installed are within radio range of your vessel, you should see their details appear on the AIS plotter screen. These details are also repeated on the NMEA ports for display on a compatible chartplotter / MFD.Specific details of how to configure your chartplotter to make use of the AIS receiver features will be given in your chartplotter manual. If you are using charting software running on a PC, please refer to the instructions provided with your chartplotting software for details of how to configure it to display AIS information.Simrad - RS35 Operation InstructionsSimrad - RS35 Operation Instructions 6362
