However, there is no guarantee that interferencewill not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does causeharmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be de-termined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged totry to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.- Connect the equpmet into an outlet on a circuit different from that towhich the receiver is connected.- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
GX2000/GX2100Page 107 GETTING STARTED7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIOThe radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The ma-rine 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 mount25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, fora portable 5W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5miles in “line of sight”.7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNAMarine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal direc-tions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance thesignal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is calledthe antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the majorfactors 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 theoreticalantenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as muchgain over the imaginary antenna.Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. Thelonger 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that requirethe additional gain.
Page 11GX2000/GX21007.3 COAXIAL CABLEVHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable –a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter andconstruction.For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a goodchoice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. Forinstallation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.1/16''3/4''3/4''1 1/8''1/8''5/8''3/8''AdapterTo get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, youmay have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this ifyou follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to makegood soldered connections.
GX2000/GX2100Page 128 INSTALLATION8.1 LOCATIONThe radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass read-ing due to the speaker magnet• provides accessibility to the front panel controls• allows connection to a power source and an antenna• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger• the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radioNote: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance isnot affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the de-sired location and:a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviationb. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio isoperating correctly by requesting a radio check.8.2 MOUNTING THE RADIO8.2.1  Supplied Universal Mounting BracketThe supplied universal mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mount-ing.Use a 13/64” (5.2-mm) bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 0.4 inch(10 mm) thick and can support more than 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) and secure thebracket with the supplied screws, spring washers, flat washers, and nuts.

Turn the CH knob on the radio or [UP(S)] / [DOWN(T)] keys on the micro-phone to select a different NOAA weather channel.3. To exit from the NOAA weather channels, press the [CLR(WX)] key. Thetransceiver returns to the channel it was on prior to a weather channel.10.7.1  NOAA Weather AlertIn the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes,the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weatheralert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on oneof the NOAA weather channels. When the Weather Alert feature is enabled(see section “12.11 WX ALERT”), the transceiver is capable of receiving thisalert if the following is performed:
Page 27GX2000/GX21001. Program NOAA weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scan-ning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under section“10.13.2  Memory Scanning (M-SCAN).”2. Press the [SCAN] key once to start memory scanning.3. The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with theregular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a nor-mal weather broadcast unless a NOAA alert is received.4. When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel, scanning will stop andthe transceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the user of a NOAA broadcast.5. Press the [CLR(WX)] key to stop the alert tone and receive the weatherreport.NOTEIf the [CLR(WX)] key is not pressed the alert tone will be emitted for 5minutes and then the weather report will be received.NOTEThe Weather Alert feature is also engaged while the transceiver is re-ceiving on one of the NOAA weather channels.10.7.2  NOAA Weather Alert TestingNOAA tests the alert system ever Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM. To testthe GX2000/GX2100’s NOAA Weather feature, on Wednesday between11AM and 1PM, setup as in section “10.7.1  NOAA Weather Alert” and confirmthe alert is heard.10.8 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE)Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may bedefined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiveris on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:1. Press the microphone 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 mag-netic bearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigationaid or geographic feature such as an island or harbor entry.4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heartattack, 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.
GX2000/GX2100Page 288. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color andother distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1minute.9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone button andlisten.10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no re-sponse, try another channel.10.9 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 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 channel 16 for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Call-ing should not exceed 30 seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minuteintervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestion on channel 16 resultingfrom its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantly in U.S. waters byusing channel 9 as the initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergencycommunications. Here, also, calling time should not exceed 30 seconds butmay be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in thismanual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initialcontact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some ofthe channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor yourdesired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting othertraffic, 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 vesselyou wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel andyour Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, im-mediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the otherchannel, and “over.” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channelis 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, endthe last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that itis not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at thebeginning and end of the contact.Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Someradios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels orwhen scanning.
Page 29GX2000/GX210010.10 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLSTo make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, Thefastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is toask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Pub-lic Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Someexamples 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 marineoperator 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 usingmay charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.10.11 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port.Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting andpassing in restricted waters.Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Yourradio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these chan-nels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use ahigher power. See page 23 (H/L key) for means to temporarily override thelow-power limit on these two channels.10.12 DUAL WATCH (TO CHANNEL 16)1. Adjust the SQL knob until the background noise disappears.2.
