7.1
GETTING STARTED
ABOUT VHF RADIO
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore
stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over
distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as
buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and
height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission
expected distances can be greater than 15 miles.
7.2
SELECTING AN ANTENNA
Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up.
The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which
this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the
major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated
on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB
gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8 foot 6dB
fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.
7.3
COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded
transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction.
For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20
feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should
be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end
plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be
sure to make good soldered connections.
8.1
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker
magnet

FCC ID: K6630303X3S
IC ID: 511B-30303X3S
GX1000S Operating Manual
has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the
antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by
requesting a radio check.

Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing
marks. 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 another
channel.
10.8
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 messages. This channel must 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 channel 16 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, congestion on 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-emergency communications. Here, also,
calling time should not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.
Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select 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 interrupting other 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 to call and
then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your Station License (Call Sign). When the
other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by saying “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 by stating your Call
Sign and the word “out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission,
only at the beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically
monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.

MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS
16
FCC ID: K6630303X3S
IC ID: 511B-30303X3S
GX1000S Operating Manual
To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The fastest way to 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 the channel charts in this manual.
Some examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 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 a link-up fee
in addition to the cost of the call.
10.10
OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67
Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this
channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters.
Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.
By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your radio is programmed to
automatically reduce power to this limit on these channels. However, in certain situations it may be
necessary to temporarily use a higher power. See page 20 ([H/L(NAV)] key) for means to temporarily
override the low-power limit on these two channels.
10.11

DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
11.1
GENERAL
WARNING
This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and
rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication
range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of
signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
NOTE
A DSC Warning sticker is included with the GX1000S. To comply with FCC regulations this sticker
must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the GX1000S. Make
sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker.
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been
designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for
establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It has 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 distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information
broadcasts.
This new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected
to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will
also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST,
POSITION SEND, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.

CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. and
International 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 Traffic System.
2.
Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (such as Channel
07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channel assignments whose counterparts
in the International assignments are duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha”
numbers. If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will 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 for International operation you will go to
Channel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use
Channel 22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C
(USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an
International duplex channel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the
alpha channels on the display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is
selected based on the U/I/C setting.
3.
Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridge operators on
intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels in the vicinity of these
bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridge operators. Note that a 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 means
34
FCC ID: K6630303X3S
IC ID: 511B-30303X3S
GX1000S Operating Manual
transmitting 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-talk switch at the end of
each transmission. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a
separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode
of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot
change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in
order to listen to the radio.
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 with other
users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.
6.
Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.
