to 5 minutes. This limits unintentional transmissions due to a stuck microphone.
About 10 seconds before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep will
be heard from the speaker(s). The transceiver will automatically go to receive
mode, even if the PTT switch is continually held down. Before transmitting
again, the PTT switch must first be released and then pressed again.
NOTE
Once the transmitter is shut down by the TOT, transmission to the last
channel is only allowed 10 seconds after the shutdown.
8.6
SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE
Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (Pages 140 to 142 ) for
instructions on use of simplex and duplex channels.

8.8.1
NOAA Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes,
the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one
of the NOAA weather channels.
The GX6000 can receive weather alerts when monitoring a weather channel
and, on the last selected weather channel during scanning modes or while on
another working channel.
When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel,
scanning will stop and the transceiver will emit a loud
beep to alert the user of a NOAA broadcast. Press any
key to stop the alert. After stopping the beep sound, the
weather alert reception confirmation screen will appear.
Press [OK] to display a confirmation screen. The confirmation screen will ask you whether to move to the weather
channel or return in the marine channel. Press [YES] to
switch to the weather channel, and press [NO] to return
to the marine channel.
To disable the weather alert function, refer to section “16.2 WEATHER ALERT”.
NOTE
If no key is pressed the alert will sound for 5 minutes and then the
weather report will be received.
8.8.2
NOAA Weather Alert Testing
NOAA tests the alert system ever Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM. To
test the GX6000’s NOAA weather feature, setup as in section “8.8.1 NOAA
Weather Alert” and confirm the alert is heard on Wednesdays between 11AM
and 1PM local time.

MULTI WATCH (TO PRIORITY CHANNEL)
Multi watch is used to scan two or three channels for communications.
•
•
In Dual Watch, a normal VHF channel and the priority channel are scanned
alternately.
In Triple Watch, a normal VHF channel, the priority channel, and the sub
channel are scanned alternately.
When a signal is received on the normal channel the radio briefly switches
between the normal channel and the priority channel to look for a transmission.
If the radio receives communications on the priority channel the radio stops
and listens to priority channel until communication ends and then starts dual
or triple watch scan again.

8.13
PA/FOG OPERATION
The GX6000 has two 25 W hailers built-in and can be used with any 4 Ohm
PA horn. Standard Horizon offers two HAIL/PA horns, the 220SW (5” round
30 Watt HAIL/PA horn) and the 240SW (5” x 8” rectangular 40 Watt HAIL/PA
horn). When the GX6000 is in PA Hail mode the PA speaker listens back (acts
as a microphone and provides two-way communications through the HAIL/PA
horn to the main radio).
NOTE
When in the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode, the GX6000 will continue
to receive DSC calls and communications on the last selected working
channel prior to entering the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode.
Then the GX6000 AIS page can also be accessed when in the PA HAIL
or FOG HORN mode.
PA HAIL mode:
PA HAIL mode allows the transceiver to be used as a power hailer when
an optional STANDARD HORIZON 220SW or 240SW HAIL/PA horn is
installed. The PA Hail mode has a listen-back feature which provides two
way communication through the HAIL/PA horn.
FOG HORN mode:
Automatic signaling is transmitted through the HAIL/PA horn. When the
fog horn signal is not being outputted the GX6000 listens back through the
connected HAIL/PA horn.
HORN mode:
Foghorn sound or siren sound can be transmitted through the HAIL/PA
horn. When the fog horn signal is not being outputted the GX6000 listens
back through the connected HAIL/PA horn.
