In cooperation with the FCC, NOAA also uses the weather channels to
alert you of other hazards besides weather (child abduction alerts, nuclear,
biological, etc.). In weather mode, the radio monitors one of the ten NOAA
weather channels. If any type of alert is received for your area, the radio
sounds an alert tone and displays the type of alert. In weather mode, the
display shows the following:

To enter weather mode, press the WX-ALERT button.
•
:HDWKHUPRGHFDQÂżOWHURXWDOHUWVWKDWGRQRWDIIHFW\RXUORFDWLRQLI
the location code (FIPS code) of the alert is entered in your radio (see
page 21). If you have no FIPS codes programmed into your radio, the
radio will notify you of all alerts in any area.
E-16
Getting Started
•
To turn off the radio’s alert tone, press any button.
•
To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine channel,
press the WX-ALERT button again.
Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don’t
need Weather Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven
seconds. If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather
mode, it operates as a type of “sleep mode”: the radio stays on the weather
channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the
radio sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very
useful when you are anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any
hazards in your area.
Press and hold the WX-ALERT button for two seconds to turn Weather Alert
Watch on or off.
Weather mode with Triple and Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in weather mode, the radio
checks channels 16 and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the
radio only checks channel 16.

Using Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Features
Using Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Features
What is DSC?
Digital Selective Calling or DSC is a standard that allows you to call other
VWDWLRQVXVLQJWKHLUXQLTXHLGHQWLÂżFDWLRQFRGH WKH0DULWLPH0RELOH6HUYLFH
Identity or MMSI number), just like you would call a phone number. To call
another station, just enter that station’s MMSI number and choose the
voice channel you want to talk on. The radio uses channel 70 to transmit
your MMSI number to the other station along with the voice channel you
requested. If the other station accepts your call, both radios automatically
switch to the requested voice channel so you can talk to the other station.
DSC provides a system for automated distress calls. At the touch of a
button, the radio can transmit your MMSI number, the nature of your
distress, and your current position based on data from your GPS receiver.
The radio repeats the distress call every few minutes until it receives an
acknowledgement.
The DSC standard dedicates a VHF channel—channel 70—to digital
transmissions only. Since digital transmissions require less bandwidth voice
transmissions, channel 70 avoids the problems of busy voice channels.
Advanced DSC features
The VHF650 supports the following DSC features:

Getting an MMSI number
In order to use DSC features, you must be assigned an MMSI number and
program that number into your radio. There are two kinds of MMSI numbers:
individual numbers for use by single boats and group numbers for use by
ÀHHWVERDWLQJRUJDQL]DWLRQVHYHQWFRRUGLQDWRUVHWF
You can get more information on MMSI numbers at these resources:
•
The dealer where you purchased the radio
•
Recreational boaters can obtain an MMSI number from the Boat
Owner’s Association of the U.S. (http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ or
call 800-536-1536) or Sea Tow Services International (http://www.
seatow.com/boatingsafety/mmsiinfo.htm)
•
Commercial boaters need a ship station license to get an MMSI
number. For more information, visit the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) website at http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/
fctsht14.html.
Entering MMSI numbers
Individual or user MMSI number
Follow the steps below to enter your individual or user MMSI number into the
radio:
NOTE: Be sure you have the correct User MMSI number before entering it in
the radio. The radio only allows you to enter the user MMSI twice. If you need

starts, you instruct all the racers to enter your group MMSI number into their
radios. During the race:
•
Throughout the race, you use group calling to update the racers on the
time, race status, and any course corrections.
•
A power boat full of spectators comes a little too close to the race path.
You use individual calling to contact the power boat and advise them to
stay clear of the race.
•
You see a rowboat entering the area, but since it doesn’t have a radio,
you can’t communicate with the rowboat. You use all ships calling to

calling you. To respond to the call, select Send: Able-Comply; the radio sends
an acknowledgement and automatically switches to the designated response
channel. To reject the call, select Send: Unable-Comply; the radio advises the
other station that you are unable to respond to the call.
If the DSC request contains a response channel that you are not allowed to
use, the radio displays Not Support CH; your only response option is Send:
Unable-Comply.
If the radio receives a group or all ships call, it sounds an incoming call tone
and automatically switches to the designated response channel.
Receive log
Just like your telephone’s caller ID list, your radio keeps track of the calls you
receive but do not answer. The receive log is useful if you have been off your
boat or away from your radio and want to see who has tried to contact you.
The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 non-distress calls
