Local calling is selected. Otherwise, blank for distance calling.  
DSC capability is available.  
A message acknowledging your DSC call is being displayed.  
Happy Fish symbol with four indicator levels. It shows the  
probability of good shing at your current location, based upon  
barometric pressure and air temperature. High pressure trends  
are associated with stable conditions and calm seas. Research  
indicates that best shing occurs when barometric pressure is  
rising and between 1010 and 1022 mb. During these opportune  
conditions, most sh are thought to feed anywhere within the  
water column. However, low pressure trends bring stormy seas  
and affect air bladders, and these conditions make sh move to  
deeper levels and become less active.  
Local weather forecast based on the local temperature and stored  
barometric pressure data. The icons are indicative only and are  
more accurate close to land rather than in open sea.  
Digital Readout of the current barometric pressure (in mb or  
in/Hg) or the current temperature (in ºC or ºF), depending upon  
your selection.  
Baro Graph. A histogram of barometric pressure (mb) readings  
over the past 24 hours. The high-resolution histogram centres  
automatically if the range goes off scale. Readouts are taken  
even when the engine and radio have been powered down (with  
typically less than 3mA of current drain).  
A typical operational display is  
shown:  
The latitude and longitude of the  
vessel and the UTC time are  
displayed.  
Channel 16 is selected in the HIGH  
power mode using the International  
channel bank. Channel 16 is set as  
the Priority channel.  
The Happy Fish icon with three bars  
indicates good shing.  
Clouds are coming soon and the  
current barometic pressure is  
displayed.

3.8 Barometric Displays (BARO)  
A barometric sensor in the microphone measures air pressure changes, enabling the radio  
screen to provide three useful aids towards weather prediction and shing conditions,  
particularly when close to large land masses. (See the information on the Happy Fish icon in  
Section 1.5.) There is:  
a weather icon with ve different displays (SUNNY, PARTLY CLOUDY, CLOUDY, RAINY,  
SNOWY). The local air pressure trends combined with the local temperature determines  
which icon is displayed. Note: in open ocean conditions the weather icon predictions can  
be less accurate than when close to large land masses.  
a digital readout of air pressure (in mb or inches of mercury).  
a graphical display of pressure changes over the past consecutive 24 hours. Barometric  
data is maintained even if the engine and radio are switched off.

Chapter 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls  
A valid user MMSID must have been entered to access the DSC  
functions.  
5.1 WHAT IS DSC?  
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF  
radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International Maritime  
Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).  
Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace  
listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent  
maritime safety information.  
DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped with  
DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress, urgency,  
safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.  
5.2 Sending DSC calls  
1. Press CALL MENU to show the types of DSC call that can be  
made.  
>INDIVIDUAL

SPECIAL NOTES ON INTERNATIONAL CHANNEL USEAGE  
Notes referring to the Table  
General notes  
The INTERNATIONAL mode is not legal for use in US or Canada Waters  
a. Administrations may designate frequencies in the inter-ship, port operations and ship  
movement services for use by light aircraft and helicopters to communicate with ships or  
participating coast stations in predominantly maritime support operations under the conditions  
specied in Nos. 51.69, 51.73, 51.74, 51.75, 51.76, 51.77 and 51.78. However, the use of the  
channels which are shared with public correspondence shall be subject to prior agreement  
between interested and affected administrations.  
b. The channels of the present Annex, with the exception of channels 06, 13, 15, 16, 17, 70, 75  
and 76, may also be used for high-speed data and facsimile transmissions, subject to special  
46  
VHF 7200 US and 7200 EU Operation Manual  
NAVMAN  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
arrangement between interested and affected administrations.  
c. The channels of the present Annex, but preferably channel 28 and with the exception of  
channels 06, 13, 15, 16, 17, 70, 75 and 76, may be used for direct-printing telegraphy and data  
transmission, subject to special arrangement between interested and affected administrations.  
d. The frequencies in this Table may also be used for radiocommunications on inland waterways  
in accordance with the conditions specied in No. 5.226. – 56 – 62238 IEC:2003(E)  
e. Administrations having an urgent need to reduce local congestion may apply 12,5 kHz channel  
interleaving on a non-interference basis to 25 kHz channels, provided:  
– Recommendation ITU-R M.1084-2 shall be taken into account when changing to 12,5 kHz  
channels;  
– it shall not affect the 25 kHz channels of the presentAnnex maritime mobile distress and safety  
frequencies, especially the channels 06, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 70, nor the technical characteristics  
mentioned in Recommendation ITU-R M.489-2 for those channels;  
– implementation of 12,5 kHz channel interleaving and consequential national requirements shall  
be subject to prior agreement between the implementing administrations and administrations  
whose ship stations or services may be affected.  
Specic notes  
f. The frequency 156,300 MHz (channel 06) (see No. 51.79 and Appendices 13 and 15) may  
also be used for communication between ship stations and aircraft stations engaged in  
coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations shall avoid harmful interference to  
such communications on channel 06 as well as to communications between aircraft stations,  
ice-breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.  
g. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the effective  
radiated power does not exceed 1 W, and subject to the national regulations of the administration  
concerned when these channels are used in its territorial waters.  
h. Within the European Maritime Area and in Canada, these frequencies (channels 10, 67, 73)  
may also be used, if so required, by the individual administrations concerned, for communication  
between ship stations, aircraft stations and participating land stations engaged in coordinated  
search and rescue and anti-pollution operations in local areas, under the conditions specied in  
Nos. 51.69, 51.73, 51.74, 51.75, 51.76, 51.77 and 51.78.  
i. The preferred rst three frequencies for the purpose indicated in Note a) are 156,450 MHz  
(channel 09),156,625 MHz (channel 72) and 156,675 MHz (channel 73).  
j. Channel 70 is to be used exclusively for digital selective calling for distress, safety and calling.  
k. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication  
channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications. It may also be used for  
the ship movement and port operations service subject to the national regulations of the  
administrations concerned.  
l. These channels (AIS 1 and AIS 2) will be used for an automatic ship identication and  
surveillance system capable of providing worldwide operation on high seas, unless other  
frequencies are designated on a regional basis for this purpose.  
m. These channels may be operated as single frequency channels, subject to special arrangement  
between interested or affected administrations. (WRC-2000)  
n. The use of these channels (75 and 76) should be restricted to navigation-related communications  
only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to channel 16, e.g. by  
limiting the output power to 1 W or by means of geographical separation.  
o. These channels may be used to provide bands for initial testing and the possible future  
introduction of new technologies, subject to special arrangement between interested or affected  
administrations. Stations using these channels or bands for the testing and the possible future  
introduction of new technologies shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim  
protection from, other stations operating in accordance with Article 5. (WRC-2000)
