Page 7 GX1300 5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 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 essen-
tially 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 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15.5 miles (25 km), for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles (8 km) in line of sight. 5.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal direc-
tions, 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 antennas 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 3.28 feet (1 m), 3 dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3.28 feet (1 m) 3 dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8.2 feet (2.5 m) 6 dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require the additional gain. 3dB 6dB 9dB Page 8 GX1300 5.2.1 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet (6 m), RG-58/U (about 0.25" (6 mm) in diameter), is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet (6 m) but less than 50 feet (15 m), the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used. For cable runs over 50 feet (15 m) RG-8X 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 boats interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that are supplied with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. Page 9 GX1300 5.3 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 trans-
ceiver 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 vessels name). 2. Then repeat once: Mayday, (your vessels 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 harbour entry. 4. Explain the nature of your distress (sinking, collision, aground, fire, heart attack, life-threatening injury, etc.). 5. State the kind of assistance you 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 vessels 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. NOTE The GX1300 have DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section 9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING. 5.4 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 European, 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 Page 10 GX1300 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 avail-
able 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 microphones 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. 5.5 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67
(USA Channel Group Only) Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels manoeuvring 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 23 (H/L key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels. Page 11 GX1300 6 INSTALLATION 6.1 LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
keeps the radio and microphone at least 3 feet (1 m) away from your vessels magnetic navigation compass provides accessibility to the front panel controls allows connection to a power source and an antenna has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet (1 m) from radio Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass, or that the 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. 6.2 MOUNTING THE RADIO 6.2.1 Supplied Mounting Bracket The supplied mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting. Use a 0.2" (5.2 mm) bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 0.4" (10 mm) thick and can support more than 3.3 lb (1.5 kg). Secure the bracket with the supplied screws, spring washers, flat washers, and nuts. Desktop Mounting Overhead Mounting Page 12 GX1300 6.2.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket 1. To assist in flush mounting, a template has been included. Use this template to assess the mounting location. 2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 5.5" (14 cm) deep). There should be at least 0.5" (1.3 cm) between the transceivers heatsink and any wiring, cables or structures. 3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver. 4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut combination, so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface. 5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is tight against the mounting surface.

MMSI/POS INFO Via this menu, input your MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) before you use DSC. SETUP This menu allows certain aspects of your transceivers configuration to be customized for your personal operating conditions. Page 35 GX1300 9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING 9.1 GENERAL WARNING The GX1300 is designed to generate digital maritime distress and safety calls to facilitate search and rescue. 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, however under normal condi-
tions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 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 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. 9.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 9.2.1 What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine radios capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE DSC FUNCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?
Please contact the Radio Licensing Authority for your country for information on how to obtain an MMSI number. Page 36 GX1300 9.2.2 Programming the MMSI WARNING The MMSI can be input only once. Therefore, please be careful not to input the incorrect MMSI number. If you need to change the MMSI number after it has been entered, the radio will have to be re-
turned to Factory Service. Refer to the section 12.2 FACTORY SER-
VICE. 1. Press the MENU key to display the menu. 2. Press the / key to select MMSI/POS 3. Press the SELECT soft key. (To cancel, press INFO. the BACK soft key.) 4.

es to all DSC radios. The GX1300 may be connected to a GPS to also trans-
mit the latitude and longitude of the vessel. NOTE If a GPS with NMEA output is not connected to the radio, the GX1300 will beep 10 minutes after the radio is turned on and will continue to beep every 4 hours alerting to connect a GPS. 9.3.1 Transmitting a DSC Distress Alert NOTE To be able to transmit a DSC distress alert, an MMSI number must be programmed (refer to section 9.2.2 Programming the MMSI). In order for your vessel's location to be transmitted, either connect a GPS to the GX1300 (refer to section 6.4 ACCESSORY CABLE) or manually input your position (refer to section 9.9 MANUAL INPUTTING OF THE GPS LOCATION). Basic Operation 1. Lift the red spring loaded DISTRESS cover, then press and hold the DISTRESS key.

Page 55 GX1300 9.6 GROUP CALL This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (example members of a yacht club) with a group MMSI number using the group call function to automatically switch to a desired channel for voice communi-
cations. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel. The GX1300 can store up to 20 group call entries. 9.6.1 Setting up a Group Call For this function to operate the same group MMSI must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature. To understand about group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be understood. Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are specific to the ships ID. Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is 366123456, 366 is MID which denote the country and 123456 is the ships ID for you. Group MMSI:
Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organiza-
tions licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers. The first digit of a group MMSI is always set to 0 by the international rules. All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI the first digit is set to 0. The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the second, third and fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area the ship is located in. The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the group. This is an important step as all radios in the group must contain the same group MMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI. Page 56 GX1300 1.

PROBABLE CAUSE No DC voltage to the transceiver, or blown fuse. Transceiver blows fuse when connected to power supply. R e v e r s e d p o w e r wires. Engine noise. Accessory cable. Antenna. Popping or whining noise from the speak-
er while engine runs. Sound is not emitted from the internal or external speaker. R e c e i v i n g s t a t i o n report low transmit p o w e r, e v e n w i t h transceiver set to HI power. HI BATTERY or LO BATTERY message is appeared when the power is turned on. Your position is not displayed. REMEDY a. Check the 12 VDC battery connections and the fuse. b. The VOL knob needs to be rotated clock-
wise to turn the radio on. Check the power cable for DC voltage, or re-
place the fuse (6 A 250 V). Make sure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post, and the black wire is connected to the negative (-) battery post. If the fuse still blows, contact your Dealer. Reroute the DC power cables away from the engine. Add noise suppressor on power cable. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter. Check the connections of the accessory cable
(Possible short circuit on the External speaker cable WHITE/SHIELD). Have the antenna checked or test the trans-
ceiver with another antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing. T h e p o w e r s u p p l y voltage is too high or too low. Confirm that the connected power supply volt-
age is between 10 volts and 17 volts DC. Con-
firm that the generator has not malfunctioned. Accessory cable. Setting of the GPS navigation receiver. Check the accessory cable connection. Some GPS use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. Check the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMC, GGA, or GNS sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting make sure to select 4800 and parity to NONE. Page 99 GX1300 12 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS Tables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.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 Guards 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 assign-
ments 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 inter-coastal 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. 4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. 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 speci-
fied 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. Page 100 GX1300 6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16. 7. 156.050 MHz and 156.175 MHz are available for port operations and commercial communications purposes when used only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) area of New Orleans, on the lower Mississippi River from the various pass entrances in the Gulf of Mexico to Devils Swamp Light at River Mile 242.4 above head of passes near Baton Rouge. 8. 156.250 MHz is available for port operations communications use only within the U.S. Coast Guard designated VTS radio protection areas of New Orleans and Houston described in Sec. 80.383. 156.250 MHz is available for intership port operations communications used only within the area of Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, within a 25- nautical mile radius of Point Fermin, California. 9. 156.550 MHz, 156.600 MHz and 156.700 MHz are available in the U.S. Coast Guard designated port areas only for VTS communications and in the Great Lakes available primarily for communications relating to the movement of ships in sectors designated by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation or the U.S. Coast Guard. The use of these frequencies outside VTS and ship movement sector protected areas is permitted provided they cause no interference to VTS and ship movement communications in their respective designated sectors. 10. Use of 156.875 MHz is limited to communications with pilots regard-
ing the movement and docking of ships. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. 5: 156.375 MHz and 156.650 MHz are available primar-
ily for intership navigational communications. These frequencies are available between coast and ship on a secondary basis when used on or in the vicinity of locks or drawbridges. Normal output power must not exceed 1 watt. Maximum output power must not exceed 10 watts for coast stations or 25 watts for ship stations. 11. On the Great Lakes, in addition to bridge-to-bridge communications, 156.650 MHz is available for vessel control purposes in established vessel traffic systems. 156.650 MHz is not available for use in the Missis-
sippi River from South Pass Lighted Whistle Buoy 2 and Southwest Pass entrance Mid-channel Lighted Whistle Buoy to mile 242.4 above Head of Passes near Baton Rouge. Additionally it is not available for use in the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, and the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal, except to aid the transi-
tion from these areas. Page 101 GX1300 12. Use of 156.375 MHz is available for navigational communications only in the Mississippi River from South Pass Lighted Whistle Buoy 2 and Southwest Pass entrance Mid channel Lighted Whistle Buoy to mile 242.4 above head of Passes near Baton Rouge, and in addition over the full length of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal from entrance to its junction with the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, and over the full length of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal from its junction with the Mississippi River to its entry to Lake Pontchartrain at the New Seabrook vehicular bridge. 13. Within 120 km (75 miles) of the United States/Canada border, in the area of the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its approaches, 157.425 MHz is half of the duplex pair designated as Channel 88. In this area, Channel 88 is available to ship stations for communications with public coast stations only. More than 120 km (75 miles) from the United States/Canada border in the area of the Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, its approaches, the Great Lakes, and the St. Lawrence Seaway, 157.425 MHz is available for intership and commercial commu-
nications. Outside Puget Sound area and its approaches and the Great Lakes, 157.425 MHz is also available for communications between commercial fishing vessels and associated aircraft while engaged in commercial fishing activities. 14. When the frequency 156.850 MHz is authorized, it may be used addition-
ally for search and rescue training exercises conducted by state or local governments. 15. The frequency 156.850 MHz is additionally available to coast stations on the Great Lakes for transmission of scheduled Coded Marine Weather Forecasts (MAFOR), Great Lakes Weather Broadcast (LAWEB) and scheduled Notices to Mariners or Bulletins. F3C and J3C emissions are permitted. Coast Stations on the Great Lakes must cease weather broad-
casts which cause interference to stations operating on 156.800 MHz until the interference problem is resolved. 16. The frequency 157.100 MHz is authorized for search and rescue train-
ing exercises by state or local government in conjunction with U.S. Coast Guard stations. Prior U.S. Coast Guard approval is required. Use must cease immediately on U.S. Coast Guard request. 17. The duplex pair for channel 20 (157.000/161.600 MHz) may be used for ship to coast station communications. 18. Available for assignment to coast stations, the use of which is in accord with an agreed program, for the broadcast of information to ship stations concerning the environment.
