![Page 5GX16001 GENERAL INFORMATIONThe STANDARD HORIZON EXPLOPER GX1600 Marine VHF/FM Marinetransceiver are designed to be used in USA, International and Canadian Ma-rine bands. The GX1600 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switch-able RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts.The GX1600 VHF’s are capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class Doperation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital SelectiveCalling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The GX1600VHF's operate on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switch-able for use with USA, International, or Canadian regulations. Emergency chan-nel 16 can be immediately selected from any channel by pressing the red key. NOAA Weather channels can also be accessed immediately by press-ing and holding the [WX] soft key.Other features of the GX1600 VHF’s include: Speaker Microphone, optionalRAM3 second station remote-control microphone with display, intercom be-tween radio and optional RAM3, scanning, priority scanning, submersiblespeaker mic, high and low voltage warning, and GPS repeatability.2 PACKING LISTWhen the package containing the transceiver is first opened, please check itfor the following contents:GX1600 TransceiverMounting Bracket and hardwareOwner’s ManualDSC Warning StickerFlush Mount TemplatePower Cord3 OPTIONSMMB-97 .........................................................................Flush-Mount BracketCMP30B/W ...............

This functionis very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collec-tively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 GroupMMSI may be programmed.11.7.1 Setup a Group CallFor this function to operate, the same Group MMSI must be programmed intoall the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea-ture. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to beunderstood.Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ShipMMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits arespecific to the Ships ID.Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denotethe country and “123456” is your ships MMSI.Group MMSI:Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizationslicensed to assign ship MMSI numbers.The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” by International rules.All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a GroupMMSI the first digit is set to “0”.The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into theSecond, Third and Fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the areathe ship is located in.The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is animportant step as all radios in the Group must contain the same GroupMMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance thatanother group of vessels may program in the same Group MMSI. If thishappens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the Group MMSI.1.
