page 3 Standard Horizon Marine RadiosOPERATING PRACTICESEmergency (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 transceiver is onand set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure:1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.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 magneticbearing (state which) to a well-known landmark such as a navigation aid orgeographic 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.8. Give your vessel's description: length, design (power or sail), color and otherdistinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute.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 response,try another channel.Calling Another Vessel (Channel 16 or 9)Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel. However, itsmost important use is for emergency messages. This channel must be monitored atall times except when actually using another channel. It is monitored by the U.S. andCanadian Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel 16 for hailing mustbe limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds, but maybe repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. In areas of heavy radio traffic, congestionon channel 16 resulting from its use as a hailing channel can be reduced significantlyin 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 secondsbut may 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 initial contact.
Marine Radios Standard Horizon page 4For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channelsavailable to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel inadvance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back toeither channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel youwish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and your StationLicense (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, immediately requestanother 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 othervessel.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 lasttransmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is notnecessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning andend of the contact.Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radiosautomatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or whenscanning; see your Owner's Manual.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 to ask at alocal marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated PublicCorrespondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examplesfor USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87. Call the marineoperator and identify yourself by your vessel's name, The marine operator will thenask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card, collect, etc.) and then linkyour radio transmission to the telephone lines.The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using maycharge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.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. Your radio isprogrammed 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 yourOwner's Manual for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these twochannels.
page 5 Standard Horizon Marine RadiosProhibited CommunicationsThe FCC prohibits the following communications:nFalse distress or emergency messages:nMessages to "any boat" except in emergencies and radio tests;nMessages to or from a vessel on land;nTransmission while on land;nObscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000).NOAA Weather Alert TestingIn the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiringvessels at sea or other bodies of water to be notified, the NOAA (NationalOceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone thatsome marine VHF radios can detect. (Refer to your radio's Owner's Manual on howto use this feature.) This tone, when detected, will produce a loud beep from theradio speaker to signal that a weather alert is being broadcast.In order to test this system, the NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone everyWednesday, sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM. Any marine VHF radio that candetect the weather alert tone, may use this test to verify that this feature isfunctioning properly,
Marine Radios Standard Horizon page 6Digital Selective Calling (DSC)Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, ithas been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as aninternational standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has also beendesignated part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and itis planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequenciesand will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety informationbroadcasts.This new service will allow mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position(when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels withinrange of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive distress,urgency, safety and routine calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSCtransceiver.USCG DSC WatchThe USCG has plans to upgrade its VHF National Distress System (expected by2005), so at the time of printing only larger vessels that are required to carry VHFDSC radios will be able to hear your distress transmissionMaritime Mobile Service Identity(MMSI)What is a MMSI?A MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceivers capable of using DigitalSelective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectivelycall other vessels.How can I obtain a MMSI assignment?At the time of this printing, to obtain an MMSI the user must contact the FCC andapply for a Ship Station License form 506, or an amendment to a ship station license,regardless of whether the license is otherwise required. This procedure is currentlyunder review by both the FCC and US Coast Guard. Refer to FCC ship station licensesection for contact information.Using Digital Selective Calling FeaturesDistress CallTransmits a DSC Distress message to all radios equipped to receive a DSC Distresscall. Some Standard Horizon radios may be connected to a GPS to also transmit theLatitude, Longitude of the vessel.
page 7 Standard Horizon Marine RadiosIndividual CallThis feature allows the user to contact another vessel capable of using DSC toautomatically switch the radio to a desired working channel. This feature is similar tocalling a desired vessel on CH16 and requesting them to go to another channel.Urgency CallThis call should be used when a vessel may not be truly in distress, but have apotential problem that might lead to a distress situation.Safety CallUsed to transmit boating safety information to other vessels. This message usuallycontains information about an overdue boat, a derelict afloat, loss of a navigation aidor an important meteorological message.Position requestUsed to poll vessels position via DSC and show it on the LCD of the radio.ADDITIONAL DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLINGINFORMATIONFor additional information the USCG has an excellent site that should be visited atwww.navcen.uscg.mil/marcoms/gmdss/dsc.htmlAbout VHF RadioThe radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHzwith some shore stations available between 161 and 163MHz. The marine VHF bandprovides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signalsdo not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmissionrange depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the poweroutput of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distancescan be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5W radio transmission the expecteddistance can be greater than 5 miles in “line of sight”.
Marine Radios Standard Horizon page 8Selecting an AntennaMarine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, butnot straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward thehorizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It ismeasured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. Interms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of howmuch gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gainantenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. The length ofthe antenna you choose, however, must also be related to the size of your boat.Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer8 foot 6dB is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.Coaxial CableVHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – ashielded 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. Forruns over 20 feet, the larger RG-8U or RG-213/U should be used. For installation ofthe 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 haveto cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directionsthat come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections.1/16''3/4'' 3/4''1 1/8''1/8''5/8''3/8''Adapter
page 9 Standard Horizon Marine RadiosMAINTENANCEGeneralThe inherent quality of the solid-state components in STANDARD HORIZON radioswill provide many years of continuous use. Take the following precautions to preventdamage to the radio.nKeep the microphone connected or the jack covered at all times to preventcorrosion of electrical contacts;nNever key the transmitter unless an antenna or suitable dummy load isconnected to the antenna receptacle;nEnsure that the input voltage does not exceed the value specified in yourOwner's Manual;nUse only STANDARD HORIZON-approved accessories and replacement parts.Batteries and ChargersCAUTIONThis section is applicable only for radios with external battery packs.Battery MaintenanceFor safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:nBattery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;nUse only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;nUse only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a division of YAESU USA) approvedcharger. The use of any other charger may cause permanent damage to thebattery;nFollow charging instructions provided with the chargers;nDo not use the radio while it is in the charger;nKeep the battery contacts clean.Battery StorageStore batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are subject toself-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large self-dischargerates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Marine Radios Standard Horizon page 10Memory CyclingPartially discharging a nickel-cadmium battery and then recharging it causes aphenomenon called "memory". When a battery establishes a memory, its availablecapacity is reduced, To ensure that a nickel-cadmium battery pack retains its fullcapacity, the battery pack should be almost fully discharged and then rechargedcompletely after every few cycles of use.Battery RecyclingDO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOURREGULAR TRASH!NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES MUST BECOLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF INAN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.The incineration, landfilling or mixing of nickel-cadmium batteries with the municipalsolid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.Return batteries to an approved nickel-cadmium battery recycler. This may be whereyou purchased the battery.Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding theenvironmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of nickel-cadmiumbatteries.
page 11 Standard Horizon Marine RadiosCHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSTables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments forU.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 VesselTraffic System.2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A (suchas Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadian channelassignments whose counterparts in the International assignments are duplexchannels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers. If you call the CoastGuard 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 handlingdistress and other calls. If your radio is set for International operation you will go toChannel 22 instead of 22A, and will not be able to communicate with the CoastGuard. 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(see your Owner’s Manual). Channel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplexchannel for port operations. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alphachannels on the display; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel isselected based on the U/I/C setting.3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridgeoperators on intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marine vessels inthe vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicating with the bridgeoperators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified for these channels. See page4 for additional information.4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplexmeans transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a timecan talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release your microphonepush-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex operation involves theuse of one frequency for transmitting and a separate frequency for receiving. Onchannels specified as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is establishedautomatically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change themode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission inorder 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 areshared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel16. For some radios, this is done automatically when the radio is on; see yourOwner’s Manual.
