FCC ID: K6630303X3S IC ID: 511B-30303X3S GX1000S Operating Manual 7  GETTING STARTED 7.1  ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine 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 mount 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles.  7.2  SELECTING AN ANTENNA Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors 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 theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain.  7.3  COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded 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. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used. For installation of the 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 have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections.  8  INSTALLATION 8.1  LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:   is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet   provides accessibility to the front panel controls   allows connection to a power source and an antenna  8
FCC ID: K6630303X3S IC ID: 511B-30303X3S GX1000S Operating Manual   has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger   the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and: a.  Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation b.  Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by requesting a radio check.  8.2  ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio! Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as follows (see Figure 1): 1.  Mount the antenna at least 3 feet away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. 2.  Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect the black power wire to a negative ground. 3.  If an optional remote extension speaker is to be used, refer to next section for connections. 4.  It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation.  8.3  ACCESSORY CABLE When connecting the external speaker or GPS navigation receiver, strip off about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the specified wire’s insulation, then splice the ends together using proper waterproofing techniques.   The GPS must have the NMEA Output turned on and set to 4800 Baud in the setup menu. If there is a selection for parity select none.   For further information on interfacing /setting up your GPS. Please contact the manufacturer of the GPS receiver.   GX1000S can read NMEA-0183 version 2.0 or higher.   The NMEA supported sentences are: Input:  GLL, GGA, RMC and GNS (RMC sentence is recommended) Output:  DSC and DSE     (DSC sentences to Standard Horizon Plotter for Position Polling) If you have further inquires, please feel free to contact Product Support at: Phone: (800) 767-2450  Email: marinetech@vxstdusa.com  9

The transceiver returns to the channel it was on prior to a weather channel.  10.6.1  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. When the Weather Alert feature is enabled (see section “12.9 WX ALERT”), the transceiver is capable of receiving this alert if  14
FCC ID: K6630303X3S IC ID: 511B-30303X3S GX1000S Operating Manual the following is performed: 1.  Program NOAA weather channels into the transceiver’s memory for scanning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under section “10.12 SCANNING.” 2.  Press the [SCAN(MEM)] key once to start memory scanning or priority scanning (determined from the “Radio Setup” selection, see page 56 for details). 3.  The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with the regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a normal weather broadcast unless a NOAA alert is received. 4.  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. 5.  Press the [WX] key to stop the alert tone and receive the weather report. NOTE If the [WX] key is not pressed the alert tone will be emitted for 5 minutes and then the weather report will be received. NOTE The Weather Alert feature is also engaged while the transceiver is receiving on one of the NOAA weather channels.  10.6.2  NOAA Weather Alert Testing NOAA tests the alert system every Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM. To test the GX1000S’s NOAA Weather alert feature, on Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM, setup as in previous section and confirm the alert is heard.  10.7    EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency is 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: 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 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.).  15
FCC ID: K6630303X3S IC ID: 511B-30303X3S GX1000S Operating Manual 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 other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9.  End the message by saying “OVER.” Release the microphone button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.  10.8    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. Here, also, 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 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 microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) 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. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning.  10.9  MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS  16
FCC ID: K6630303X3S IC ID: 511B-30303X3S GX1000S Operating Manual To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Public Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some examples 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 marine operator 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 using may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.  10.10    OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing 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 is programmed 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 page 20 ([H/L(NAV)] key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.  10.11    DUAL WATCH (TO PRIORITY CHANNEL) Dual watch allows the radio to monitor one channel and the assigned Priority channel. By default the priority channel is set to 16, however the priority channel may be changed by referring to section “12.6 PRIORITY CHANNEL SET.” 1.  Adjust the SQL knob until the background noise disappears. 2.  Select the channel you wish to dual watch to “Priority channel.” 3.  Press the [DW(IC)] key. The display will scan between Priority channel and the channel that was selected in step 2. If a transmission is received on the channel selected in step 2, the GX1000S will dual watch between the working channel and the Priority channel. 4.  To stop Dual Watch, press the [DW(IC)] key again.  10.12  SCANNING Allows the user to select the scan type from Memory scan or Priority scan. “Memory scan” scans the channels that were programmed into memory. “Priority scan” scans the channels programmed in memory with the priority channel.   17

To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. NOTE A DSC Warning sticker is included with the GX1000S. To comply with FCC regulations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the GX1000S. Make sure the chosen location is clean and dry before applying the sticker.  Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSITION SEND, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.  11.2  DSC SCAN  19

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 intercoastal 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. See page 28 for additional information. 4.  The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means  34

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.  15  SPECIFICATIONS Performance specifications are nominal, unless otherwise indicated, and are subject to change without notice.  16.1  GENERAL Channels  All USA, International and Canadian Input Voltage  13.8 VDC ±20% Current Drain  Standby  0.4 A  Receive 1.5 A   Transmit  5.5 A (Hi); 1.5 A (Lo) Dimensions  3.1” H x 7” W x 5.7” D   (80 H x 180 W x 145 D mm) Flush-Mount Dimensions  2.5” H x 6.3” W x 5.1” D   (64 H x 160 W x 130 D mm) Weight  2.2 lbs (1 kg)  16.2  TRANSMITTER Frequency Range  156.025 to 157.425 MHz RF Output  25 W (Hi); 1 W (Lo) Conducted Spurious Emissions  80 dB (Hi); 60 dB (Lo) Audio Response  within +1/–3 of a 6 dB/octave  pre-emphasis characteristic at 300 to 3000 Hz Audio Distortion  5 % Modulation  16K0G3E, for DSC 16K0G2B  35
