Page 70 CPV35013.9 VHF DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING *Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a VHF radio call. DSChad also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System(GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distressfrequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety informationbroadcasts.This new system allow mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (whenconnected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of thetransmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate POSITION Request, POSITION Sendcalls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.The CPV350 is capable of VHF Marine Radios with Digital Selective Calling are able to beinterfaced with the GPS chartplotter which feeds GPS data to the VHF and listens for DSCcalls from the VHF. By connecting a few wires between the STANDARD HORIZON VHF andthe GPS chartplotter it will receive:1. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress call2. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Position Send Call3. The position of a vessel that transmitted a DSC Position Request Call13.9.0 Position RequestThe CPV350 can transmit a DSC position request call to other equipped vessels with DSC.The position of the polled vessel is show on the chart pages after the call was received. Thisis a great feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel for example youbuddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.

When theGrounding Alarm is enabled the GPS chartplotter will draw a triangle in front of the vessel on theChart page showing the area that is being searched as shown below. The depth and range(distance) of the area the GPS chartplotter looks ahead for a shallow area can be set using thisfunction.The following warning appears when the Grounding Alarm is enabled:NOTESThe Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+/MAX C-CARDs. It also affects thespeed of the redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it may be disabled.When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS chartplotter shows a pop upwindow to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found isreported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page  the relative item has a tickmarker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle thesame objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searchesthe objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Reportpage is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm willbe shown). The GPS chartplotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a GroundingAlarm is detected.a. Ground Alarm Range : Allows setting the distance of the grounding alarm zone.Available selections are 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0NM. The default selection is 0.25NM.

Grounding Alarm Report : Displays a report of dangerous objects found.
Page 74 CPV35015. AISAIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety ofnavigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship, ship reporting and VTSapplications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the shipautomatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have ahigh level of availability. AIS transponders installed on IMO vessels use VHF frequenciesto:♦Transmit details of their own vessel♦Receive details from other vessels or navigation aids within VHF range.Information being transmitted from vessels over 300 tons that, due to recent worldwidelegislation, are required to fit Class “A” AIS transponders.Connecting to the GPS chartplotter an AIS receiver (please contact your local dealer),vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range are displayed on screen giving the skipperor navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels. This improves safety, andspecifically for collision avoidance reasons.15.0 AIS SYSTEM DEFINITIONS♦Target:  It is a vessel equipped with AIS. Information about the targets is beingreceived by AIS Receiver and displayed on the screen.♦CPA : Closest Point of Approach is the closest distance that will be achievedbetween your vessel and the tracked target, based on your vessel’s speed anddirection and the target’s speed and direction.♦CPA Limit: This is the distance from your vessel that a target may reach beforea target is deemed a threat.♦CPA Alarm: Occurs if CPA is less or equal to CPA Limit. This test is done foractive targets only.♦TCPA: Time to closest Point of Approach is the time remaining until the CPAwill occur.♦TCPA Limit: This is the time remaining before the CPA is reached.♦TCPA Alarm: Occurs if TCPA is less or equal to TCPA Limit. This test is donefor active targets only and if CPA value is less or equal to CPA Limit.♦Radio Call Sign: International call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voiceradio.♦Name: Name of ship, 20 characters.♦MMSI: Maritime Mobile Service Identity.♦MMSI number: A unique 9 digit number that is assigned to a DSC radio sta-tion. It primarily registers the boat information in the U.S. Coast Guard’s na-tional distress database for use in emergency situations.♦Active Target: Target located within the Activation Range. Active target is rep-resented by oriented triangle with COG and Heading vectors. Rate of turn mayalso be displayed.
Page 75CPV350♦Dangerous Target: Target detected by CPA or TCPA Alarm. Dangerous targetis Active Target by definition. For better visibility Dangerous Target symbol isflashing.♦Sleeping Target: Target located outside the Activation Range. Sleeping targetis represented by a small oriented triangle.♦Lost Target: When the AIS  info  is not received from that vessel for 3.5 min-utes. The presentation will be a flashing black triangle with a cross through.♦Activation Range: Range around your boat where targets become active. AIStarget become active within this range. Activation Range should be greaterthan CPA Limit by definition.NOTEA target is removed from the screen if data is not received for 10 minutes.The maximum number of tracked targets is 100.Depending on the scale the presentation of the targets change to remove clutter on the screen.

An emergency is defined as a threatto life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16.Then use the following procedure:1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.This is            ,            ,            ” (your vessel’s name).2. Then repeat once: “Mayday,            ” (your vessel’s name).3. Now report your position in latitude/longitude, or by giving a true or magnetic bearing
Page 85CPV350(state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic featuresuch as an island or harbor entry.4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.).5. State the kind of assistance your desire (pumps, medical aid, etc.).6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured.7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishingmarks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.9. End the message by saying “OVER.” Release the microphone button and listen.10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try anotherchannel.18.7 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL (CHANNEL 16 OR 9)Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.However, its most important use is for emergency and distress messages. This channelmust be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.It is monitored by the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds,but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestionon channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S.waters by using channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergencycommunications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may berepeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, andselect an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example,Channels 68 and 69 are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational)boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interruptingother traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel you wish tocall and then “This is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (CallSign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel bysaying “Go to,” the number of the other channel, and “Over.” Then switch to the new channel.When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel.After a transmission, say “Over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch.When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission bystating your Call Sign and the word “Out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Signwith each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact.Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radiosautomatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.18.8 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLSTo make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose. The fastest wayto learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina.Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on thechannel charts in this manual. Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27,
Page 86 CPV35028, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name,The marine operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card,collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using may charge alink-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.18.9 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messageson this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restrictedwaters.Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio isprogrammed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, incertain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 89([H/L] key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.18.10 DUAL WATCH (TO PRIORITY CHANNEL)Dual watch allows the radio to monitor one channel and the assigned Priority channel. Bydefault the priority channel is set to 16, however the priority channel may be changed byreferring to section “18.11.3 Priority Channel Set.”1. Adjust [SQL] until the background noise disappears.2. Select the channel you wish to dual watch to “Priority channel” byrotating the channel knob.3. Press [DW].4. The CPV350 will scan between Priority channel and the channel thatwas selected in step 2.5. If a transmission is received on the channel selected in step 2, the CPV350 will dualwatch between the working channel and the Priority channel.6. To stop Dual Watch, press [DW] again.18.11 SCANNINGAllows the user to select the scan type from Memory scan or Priority scan. “Memory scan”scans the channels that were programmed into memory. “Priority scan” scans the channelsprogrammed in memory with the priority channel.18.11.0 Selecting the Scan Type1.

To be effective as a safety device, this equipment mustbe used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normalconditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.NOTEA DSC Warning sticker is included with the CPV350. To comply with FCCregulations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed fromthe location of the CPV350. Make surethe chosen location is clean and drybefore applying the sticker.Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radiocall, it has been designated by theInternational Maritime Organization (IMO)as an international standard forestablishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls.It has also been designated as part of theGlobal Maritime Distress and SafetySystem (GMDSS). It is planned that DSCwill eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used toannounce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position(when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels withinrange of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receiveDistress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSITION SEND, andGroup calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.19.1 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI)19.1.0 What is an MMSI?An MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) is a nine digit number used on MarineTransceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC).

Page 128 CPV35024.  CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSTables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. andInternational use. Below are listed some data about the charts.1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Vessel TrafficSystem.2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such asChannel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignmentswhose counterparts in the International assignments are duplex channels. Internationalchannels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, theywill sometimes ask you to “go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A,and Canadian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is set forInternational operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able tocommunicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel 22A, your radio must be set forUSA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control orcombination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channelfor port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on thedisplay; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is selected based onthe U/I/C setting.3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operatorson intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity ofthese bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note thata limit of 1 Watt is specified for these channels. See page 28 for additional information.4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex meanstransmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk,unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphone push-to-talkswitch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of onefrequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channelsspecified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established automaticallyby your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you stillmust release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to theradio.5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared withother users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.

WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned acrossthe United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on eithercoast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message. Thiscorrection accounts for GPS satellite orbit and clock drift plus signal delays caused by theatmosphere and ionosphere. The corrected differential message is then broadcast throughone of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the equator. Theinformation is compatible with the basic GPS signal structure, which means any WAAS-enabled GPS receiver can read the signal.WATER TEMP – Shows the sea water temperature when the FF520 50/200kHz BLACKBOX FISH FINDER or a Digital Speed Log/Temp instrument with NMEA is connected.XTE (Cross Track Error) – The distance your vessel is off course (left or right) to aDestination point.
