3. ABOUT THIS RADIO
Application for FCC/IC
FCC ID: K6630393X20
IC: 511B-30393X20
3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND
The 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 fixed 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 fines 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 waterway. 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 CHANNELS
The HX380 is capable of being programmed with 40 LMR (Land Mobile Radio) 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 RESISTANCE
Water 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
defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to “Channel 16”. Then use the following procedure:
) switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, May1. Press the PTT (Push-To-Talk:
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 magnetic 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, 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.
Page 8
HX380
Application for FCC/IC
FCC ID: K6630393X20
IC: 511B-30393X20
7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel.
8. 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 PTT ( ) switch and listen.
10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, 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 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. 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 contact. 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 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 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 beginning and end of the contact.
Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel.

on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing
in restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends,
key will change the power output
High power is allowed. Pressing the
from Low Power (1 Watt) to High (5 Watts). When you change from this channel then return to it, low power will be automatically selected.
3.7 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 67
When 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 power.
3.8 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE
Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page 32) for instructions on
use of simplex and duplex channels.
NOTE
All 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 duplex (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
In the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiring
vessels at sea (or other bodies of water) to be notified, the NOAA (National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone
which the HX380 can detect and alert you of pending storm warnings. The
1050 Hz tone, when detected, will produce a loud beep in the speaker of the
HX380, to signal that a Weather Alert Broadcast is being received.
1. To receive a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
key. The
weather broadcast, press and hold the
transceiver changes to the weather channel mode and
recalls the last used NOAA weather channel. This mode
consists of a preset memory bank containing the NOAA
weather channels.
2. Press the
or
key to change to other weather channels.
3. To exit from the weather channel mode, press and hold the
key. The
transceiver will revert to the channel you were using prior to switching to the
weather channel mode.
6.5.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT
In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and hurricanes,
NOAA sends a “weather alert” consisting of a 1050 Hz tone, followed by
weather reports on the weather channels.
When a “weather alert” is received on a weather channel,
the transceiver emits a beep tone. Press the
key to
stop the beep tone and listen to the weather reports.
6.5.2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING
In order to test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone every
Wednesday sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM local time. You may use
this opportunity to test your HX380 periodically to confirm that the Weather
Alert feature is working, or for training crew members on how to configure the
HX380 to receive the NOAA Weather Alerts.

9. VHF MARINE CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
Application for FCC/IC
FCC ID: K6630393X20
IC: 511B-30393X20
Tables 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 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 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 specified 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 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.
