MiC HoLe Page 4 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. 1 GENERAL INFORMATION The STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX Series GX2200 Marine VHF/FM Marine transceiver is designed to be used in USA, International, and Canadian Marine bands. The GX2200 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts. The GX2200 integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver to display AIS vessel information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG) directly on the VHF radio, so you will know what is out there in any conditions. The GX2200 is also capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navigated to by using a unique navigation compass display. The GX2200 allows you to contact an AIS ship directly using DSC, show your vessels position in relation to AIS targets and alert you when an AIS ship may be approaching too close to your location via the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) Alarm. To receive AIS targets from ships with AIS class A or B transponders, simply connect the normal VHF antenna (only one antenna needed!). The GX2200 is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ITU Class D oper-

ation. Class D operation allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Call-

ing functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call. The GX2200 operates on all currently-allocated marine channels which are switchable for use with USA, International, or Canadian regulations. Emergency channel 16 16 key. can be immediately selected from any channel by pressing the red NOAA weather channel can also be accessed immediately by pressing and holding the Other features of the GX2200 includes: a 12-channel internal GPS receiver, speaker microphone, 30W PA/Fog, optional RAM3 second station remote-

control microphone with AIS display, intercom between radio and optional RAM3, scanning, priority scanning, submersible speaker microphone, high and low voltage warning, and GPS repeatability. key.

Page 6 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. 5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS The FCC prohibits the following communications:

False distress or emergency messages:

Messages to any boat except in emergencies and radio tests;

Messages to or from a vessel on land;

Transmission while on land;

Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000). 5.2 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 25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in line of sight. 5.3 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-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. 3dB 6dB 9dB Page 7 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. 5.4 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, 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 or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet 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 come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. 5.5 DISTRESS AND HAILING (CHANNEL 16) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be 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 proce-

dure:

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 navi-

gation 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.). Page 8 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. 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 GX2200 has the DSC Distress calling, that can transmit a distress call digitally to all ships with compatible DSC radios. Refer to section 9 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC). 5.6 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. Call-

ing 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 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be inter-

rupting 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, press the PTT button on the mic and 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) then release the PTT button on the mic. When the other vessel returns your call, immediately request another channel by pressing the PTT button on Page 9 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. the mic and saying go to, the number of the other channel, say over and release the PTT button on the mic. 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. 5.7 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS 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 vessels 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 tele-

phone 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. 5.8 BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks, 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 30 (

key) for means to temporarily override the low-power limit on these two channels.

To use Sea Tows free Automated Radio Check service, simply tune your VHF radio to the appropriate channel for your location and conduct a radio check as you typically would. Upon releasing your radios microphone, the system will play an automated message and relay your transmission back to you, thereby letting you know how your signal will sound to other boaters. The Automated Radio Check Service is currently available in the areas listed below.

Since AIS uses similar frequencies as a marine VHF radio, it has similar radio reception capabilities - which are basically line of sight. This means that the higher the VHF antenna is mounted, the greater the reception area will be. Reception from Class A vessels that are 20 or even 30 miles away on open water is not uncommon as their antennas are mounted high off the water. Class B transponders use lower power for transmissions; therefore you can expect Class B vessels to be acquired when they are 5 to 10 miles away. NOTE The GX2200 does not require a special marine VHF antenna to receive AIS transmissions. The GX2200 does not transmit AIS signals, it is NOT recommended to use an antenna dedicated for AIS operation. For additional information on AIS visit the USCG website:

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 condi-

tions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. NOTE A DSC Warning sticker is included with the GX2200. To comply with FCC regu-

lations this sticker must be mounted in a location that can be easily viewed from the location of the GX2200. WARNING STICKER 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 posi-

tion (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, and Position Report, Automatic Position Polling, 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 transceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. Page 48 GX2200FCC ID:K6630443X3D IC:511B-30443X3DYAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPER-

ATE DSC FUNCTIONS. How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

matically switch to a desired channel for voice communications. This func-

tion is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 group MMSIs may be programmed. 9.6.1 Setting up a Group Call For this function to operate, the same group MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number) must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a ship MMSI has to be understood. Ship MMSI: The first three digits called MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship MMSI denote the country the ship registered for an 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 your ships MMSI. 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 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 ship 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.

NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to ra-

dio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be de-

termined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Connect the equpmet into an outlet on a circuit different from that to Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. GX2000/GX2100 Page 9 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 ma-

rine 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, for a portable 5W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in line of sight. 7.2 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 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. SELECTING AN ANTENNA Page 10 GX2000/GX2100 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 its 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 or RG-

213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. 1/16''

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 come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. GX2000/GX2100 Page 11 8 INSTALLATION 8.1 The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:

LOCATION is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass read-

ing due to the speaker magnet 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 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 de-

sired 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 MOUNTING THE RADIO 8.2.1 Supplied Universal Mounting Bracket The supplied universal mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mount-

False distress or emergency messages:

Messages to any boat except in emergencies and radio tests;

Messages to or from a vessel on land;

Transmission while on land;

Obscene, indecent, or profane language (potential fine of $10,000). 10.2 RECEPTION 1. After the transceiver has been installed, ensure that the power supply and antenna are properly connected. 2. Press and hold the PWR/VOL knob until the radio turns on. 3. Turn the SQL knob fully counterclockwise. This state is known as squelch 4. Turn up the PWR/VOL knob until noise or audio from the speaker is at a off. comfortable level. 5. Turn the SQL knob clockwise until the random noise disappears. This state is known as the squelch threshold. 6. Turn the CH knob to select the desired channel. Refer to the channel chart on page for available channels. 7. When a message is received, adjust the volume to the desired listening indicator in the LCD is displayed indicating that the level. The channel is being used. 10.3 TRANSMISSION 1. Perform steps 1 through 6 of RECEPTION. 2. Before transmitting, monitor the channel to ensure it is clear. THIS IS AN FCC REQUIREMENT!

3. Press the PTT (push-to-talk) switch. The indicator on the LCD is displayed. 4. Speak slowly and clearly into the microphone. 5. When the transmission is finished, release the PTT switch. This is a noise-canceling microphone. Position the Oval Slot label MIC within 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the mouth for optimum performance. NOTE GX2000/GX2100 Page 25 10.4 TRANSMIT TIME - OUT TIMER (TOT) When the PTT switch on the microphone is held down, transmit time is limited to 5 minutes. This limits unintentional transmissions due to a stuck microphone. About 10 seconds before automatic transmitter shutdown, a warning beep will be heard from the speaker(s). The transceiver will automatically go to receive mode, even if the PTT switch is continually held down. Before transmitting again, the PTT switch must first be released and then pressed again. 10.5 SIMPLEX/DUPLEX CHANNEL USE Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page ) for instructions on use of simplex and duplex channels. NOTE All channels are factory-programmed in accordance with FCC (USA), Industry Canada (Canada), and International regulations. Mode of op-

eration cannot be altered from simplex to duplex or vice-versa. 10.6 USA, CANADA, AND INTERNATIONAL MODE 1. To change the Channel Group, hold the [16/9] key and press the [WX] key. The mode changes from USA to International to Canadian with each press of the [CLR(WX)] key. USA will be displayed on the LCD for USA mode, INTL will be displayed for International mode, and CAN will be displayed for Canadian mode. 3. Refer to the VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART (page ) for allocated chan-

2. nels in each mode. 10.7 NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS 1. To receive a NOAA weather channel, press and hold the [CLR(WX)] key for 2 seconds from any channel. The transceiver will go to the last selected weather channel. 2. Turn the CH knob on the radio or [UP()] / [DOWN()] keys on the micro-

phone to select a different NOAA weather channel. 3. To exit from the NOAA weather channels, press the [CLR(WX)] key. The transceiver returns to the channel it was on prior to a weather channel. 10.7.1 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 12.11 WX ALERT), the transceiver is capable of receiving this alert if the following is performed:

Page 26 GX2000/GX2100 1. Program NOAA weather channels into the transceivers memory for scan-

ning. Follow the same procedure as for regular channels under section 10.13.2 Memory Scanning (M-SCAN). 2. Press the [SCAN] key once to start memory scanning. 3. The programmed NOAA weather channels will be scanned along with the regular-programmed channels. However, scanning will not stop on a nor-

mal 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 [CLR(WX)] key to stop the alert tone and receive the weather report. If the [CLR(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 re-

ceiving on one of the NOAA weather channels. NOTE 10.7.2 NOAA Weather Alert Testing NOAA tests the alert system ever Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM. To test the GX2000/GX2100s NOAA Weather feature, on Wednesday between 11AM and 1PM, setup as in section 10.7.1 NOAA Weather Alert and confirm the alert is heard. 10.8 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be 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, May-

day. 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 mag-

netic 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.). 6. Report the number of persons aboard and condition of any injured. 7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. GX2000/GX2100 Page 27 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 re-

sponse, try another channel. 10.9 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. Call-

ing 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 of the U.S. VHF Charts 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, im-

mediately 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. Page 28 GX2000/GX2100 10.10 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS 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 Pub-

lic 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 vessels 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. 10.11 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 chan-

nels. 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. 10.12 DUAL WATCH (TO CHANNEL 16) 1. Adjust the SQL knob until the background noise disappears. 2. Select the channel you wish to dual watch to CH16. 3. Press the [DW(IC)] key. The display will scan between CH16 and the chan-

nel that was selected in step 2. If a transmission is received on the channel selected in step 2, the GX2000/GX2100 will dual watch to CH16. 4. To stop Dual Watch press the [DW(IC)] key again.
