NAVMAN

VHF 7200 US and 7200 EU Operation Manual

B A

Channel suffix, if applicable.

LOCAL

Local calling is selected. Otherwise, blank for distance calling.

DSC

DSC capability is available.

ACK

A message acknowledging your DSC call is being displayed.
Happy Fish symbol with four indicator levels. It shows the
probability of good fishing at your current location, based upon
barometric pressure and air temperature. High pressure trends
are associated with stable conditions and calm seas. Research
indicates that best fishing occurs when barometric pressure is
rising and between 1010 and 1022 mb. During these opportune
conditions, most fish are thought to feed anywhere within the
water column. However, low pressure trends bring stormy seas
and affect air bladders, and these conditions make fish move to
deeper levels and become less active.
Local weather forecast based on the local temperature and stored
barometric pressure data. The icons are indicative only and are
more accurate close to land rather than in open sea.
Digital Readout of the current barometric pressure (in mb or
in/Hg) or the current temperature (in ºC or ºF), depending upon
your selection.
Baro Graph. A histogram of barometric pressure (mb) readings
over the past 24 hours. The high-resolution histogram centres
automatically if the range goes off scale. Readouts are taken
even when the engine and radio have been powered down (with
typically less than 3mA of current drain).

A typical operational display is
shown:
The latitude and longitude of the
vessel and the UTC time are
displayed.
Channel 16 is selected in the HIGH
power mode using the International
channel bank. Channel 16 is set as
the Priority channel.
The Happy Fish icon with three bars
indicates good fishing.
Clouds are coming soon and the
current barometic pressure is
displayed.

3.8 Barometric Displays (BARO)
A barometric sensor in the microphone measures air pressure changes, enabling the radio
screen to provide three useful aids towards weather prediction and fishing conditions,
particularly when close to large land masses. (See the information on the Happy Fish icon in
Section 1.5.) There is:
• a weather icon with five different displays (SUNNY, PARTLY CLOUDY, CLOUDY, RAINY,
SNOWY). The local air pressure trends combined with the local temperature determines
which icon is displayed. Note: in open ocean conditions the weather icon predictions can
be less accurate than when close to large land masses.
• a digital readout of air pressure (in mb or inches of mercury).
• a graphical display of pressure changes over the past consecutive 24 hours. Barometric
data is maintained even if the engine and radio are switched off.

Chapter 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls
A valid user MMSID must have been entered to access the DSC
functions.

5.1 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 categorised as distress, urgency,
safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.

channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications. It may also be used for
the ship movement and port operations service subject to the national regulations of the
administrations concerned.
l. These channels (AIS 1 and AIS 2) will be used for an automatic ship identification and
surveillance system capable of providing worldwide operation on high seas, unless other
frequencies are designated on a regional basis for this purpose.
m. These channels may be operated as single frequency channels, subject to special arrangement
between interested or affected administrations. (WRC-2000)
n. The use of these channels (75 and 76) should be restricted to navigation-related communications
only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to channel 16, e.g. by
limiting the output power to 1 W or by means of geographical separation.
o. These channels may be used to provide bands for initial testing and the possible future
introduction of new technologies, subject to special arrangement between interested or affected
administrations. Stations using these channels or bands for the testing and the possible future
introduction of new technologies shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim
protection from, other stations operating in accordance with Article 5. (WRC-2000)
