HX380Page 83. ABOUT THIS RADIO3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BANDThe radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 162 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a xed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “Line of sight”.The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe nes if the radio is used on land. The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard in a water-way. If this occurs, depending upon the marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and rescue case, or contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel assignments refer to page 32 section 9.3.2 ABOUT THE LMR CHANNELSThe HX380 is capable of being programmed with 40 LMR (Land Mobile Ra-dio) channels by a dealer. The frequency range is 134 to 174MHz which may be setup for 25 kHz (wide) or 12.5 kHz (narrow) channel stepping with CTCSS and DCS signaling. Contact your dealer for further details.3.3 ABOUT WATER RESISTANCEWater resistance of the transceiver is ensured only when the battery pack is attached to the transceiver and MIC/SP cap is installed in the MIC/SP jack.3.4 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE)Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be dened as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiv-er is on and set to “Channel 16”. Then use the following procedure:1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk: ) switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, May-day. 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 magnet-ic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, re, 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.Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20
Page 9HX3807. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and oth-er distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT ( ) switch and lis-ten.10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-sponse, try another channel.3.5 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 in-tervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced signicantly in U.S. waters by using Channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communications. Also hailing on channel 9, the 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 con-tact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your de-sired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other trafc, 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, im-mediately 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 PTT (Push-To-Talk: ) 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 be-ginning and end of the contact.Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel.Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20
HX380Page 103.6 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 13Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends, High power is allowed. Pressing the key will change the power output from Low Power (1 Watt) to High (5 Watts). When you change from this chan-nel then return to it, low power will be automatically selected.3.7 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67When channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between ships, High power may be used temporarily (in the USA band) by pressing the key. When release the PTT switch, the transceiver will revert to low pow-er.3.8 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USERefer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page 32) for instructions on use of simplex and duplex channels.NOTEAll channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC, Industry Canada, and International regulations. The mode of operation cannot be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. Simplex (ship to ship) or du-plex (marine operator) mode is automatically activated, depending on the channel and whether the USA, Canadian or International operating band is selected.Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20

HX380Page 329. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSTables on the following pages 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 Trafc 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 Ca-nadian 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 op-erators on inter-coastal 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 specied for these channels.4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means 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 transmis-sion. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specied 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 geo-graphic regions.6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.Application for FCC/IC FCC ID: K6630393X20 IC: 511B-30393X20
