COMPLIANCE
This device complies with AS/NZS 61000.6.3:2007
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful interference.
LISTENING TO FM IN YOUR BOAT
The majority of FM broadcasts are music programs. Compared with AM signals, FM
signals have a wider dynamic range, are relatively immune to noise and provide virtually
distortion free music reproduction. However, because of the nature of FM signals and
the fact that FM stations are usually positioned for shore based reception, reception in a
moving boat may be accompanied by problems.
FM programs are broadcast for local reception and may not be heard satisfactorily at
distant locations. To enjoy FM programs at their best, it is important that you tune to a
station that is broadcasting in your locality.
FM signals can reflect from solid objects such as buildings or hills. If these reflected
signals are received along with signals that are arriving directly from the transmitter, they
may mix together to produce what is known as ‘multipath distortion’. This distortion is
heard as noise. Often, moving as little as one metre from your position will correct
this problem.
FM signals travel in straight lines. Because the signals are reflected from or absorbed by
large solid objects, a signal ‘shadow’ may be present behind the object which may result
in poor reception in that area.

are displayed. If the USA or Canadian standard is selected, an additional ten NOAA weather
channels are also available. When these are selected, ‘WEATHER’ is displayed on the LCD.
Page 9GR200 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MEMORY KEYS
The GR200 has 6 preset memory keys which allow up to 6 frequencies to be stored and
recalled within each band. Because there are two identical AM bands and two identical
FM bands, this allows 12 AM and 12 FM preset memories. The memories can be stored
either manually or automatically.
Manually locating and storing station frequencies in the preset Memories
1. Press the Band key repeatedly until the required band is selected.
2. Press the Mode key repeatedly until the frequency adjustment mode is selected
(‘FREQ’ will be displayed).
3. Press the or key briefly to manually step through the frequencies. To
automatically scan for the next station, press and hold the or key.
4. Once the required station has been located, press and hold one of the six memory
keys for 3 seconds. The frequency will flash and the sound will mute briefly as the
frequency is stored into the selected memory. The selected memory number will be
displayed at the top of the LCD.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 above to store other frequencies into the preset memories.
Note: If a frequency or VHF marine channel is selected that is already stored in memory,
the allocated memory number will also be displayed.
Recalling stations from the preset Memories
Select the required band, then briefly press the required memory button. The GR200 will
switch to the frequency stored in that memory location and the selected memory number
will be displayed at the top of the LCD.
AUTOMATIC MEMORY STORAGE (AMS)
The AMS feature allows the GR200 to search the selected band for stations and
automatically store the first six strongest stations it locates into the station memories.
While activated, the Local (LOC) receiver sensitivity mode is temporarily enabled to ensure
only stronger local stations are selected.
To activate the AMS feature, briefly press the Mode key repeatedly until ‘AMS’ is
displayed on the lower right of the LCD. To begin the search, press the or key.
Pressing the key will cause the GR200 to search upwards through the frequencies
while pressing the key will cause it to search downwards. The search will begin from
the last displayed frequency. As strong stations are found they will be automatically stored
into the station memories. When all six memories have been filled, or the entire band has
been searched, the search will stop and the station in Memory 1 will be selected.
To manually stop the memory search, briefly press the or key. To change the search
direction, briefly press the opposite key after the search has been
manually stopped.
