3. ABOUT THIS RADIO

3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND

WARNING:

The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with

NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band

provides communications over distances that are essentially “Line of sight” 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.”

The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fines if the radio is used on land. The

reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or propagation anomalies may

cause your transmission to be heard in a waterway. If this occurs, depending upon the

marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and

rescue case, or contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel

assignments refer to page 47 section 16.

3.2 ABOUT RECEIVE ONLY CHANNELS and FREQUENCIES

AM/FM Broadcast Bands

The AM/FM bands contained within the HX600S are the same channels you use every day

to listen to music, news and commentary with your car or home stereo.

The AM broadcast band currently extends from 500 to 1800 kHz. Channels are spaced in

even 10 kHz increments; i.e.: 500, 510, 520, ... , 1600 kHz in the United States and Canada.

Elsewhere, channels are spaced in 9 kHz increments, i.e.: 531, 540, 549, etc.

FCC ID: K6630193X20

IC ID: 511B-30193X20

Operating Manual

7/39

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

The FM broadcast band in the United States extends from 88 to 108 MHz. Channels are

assigned at 100 kHz increments; i.e.: 88.1, 88.2, 88.3, ... , 107.9. The channels from 88.1 to

91.9 are reserved for noncommercial educational stations. Outside the United States and

Canada, the boundaries and channel spacing vary. In Japan, the band starts at 76 MHz. In

Western Europe, the band generally runs from 88-108 MHz, but channels can be irregularly

spaced, i.e.: 101.25 MHz.

AIR (Aircraft) Bands

The AM VHF aeronautical communications band lies between 108.000 MHz and 136.975

MHz. This frequency spectrum can be divided into a lower and upper range. The lower

range between 108.000 MHz and 118.000 MHz is primarily used for navigational aids such

as the ILS - Instrument Landing Systems, DME - Distance Measuring Equipment, and

VOR’s - Very High Frequency Omni Range. The lower range offers very little in the way of

voice communications, it does however provide someone with a working knowledge of

Morse code the opportunity to identify various beacons. The upper range of the

aeronautical band 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz is where the majority of voice

communications can be monitored. Communications in the VHF band are transmitted in AM

mode and most if not all compatible receivers automatically default to this mode.

Frequencies within the aeronautical range are spaced in increments of 25 kHz, as such you

will find transmissions at 118.000, 118.025, 118.050 MHz etc.

The frequency(s) you monitor will determine the nature of traffic you will hear. As previously

mentioned frequencies in the lower range of the aeronautical band are mostly occupied by

navigational equipment and transmit non voice signals in Morse code. If you select a

frequency in the upper range the air is suddenly filled with conversations between pilots

and air traffic controllers, pilots and their company dispatchers, flight service stations, and

ATIS broadcasts. Frequencies within the aeronautical band are designated according to

their usage.

Refer to the page 23 for operation.

4. GETTING STARTED

If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting

the CD-33 Charger Cradle with the NC-88 battery charger, as shown in the illustration. If

12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19A DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter

Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable may be used for charging the battery. The NC-88,

E-DC-19A and E-DC-6 will charge a completely discharged FNB-83 battery pack in about

10 hours.

4.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

The FNB-83 is a high performance Ni-MH battery providing high capacity in a compact

package.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-83 battery pack should only be removed, charged

or recharged in non-hazardous environments.

4.1.1 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain Ni-MH batteries. This type of battery stores a

charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, especially when removed

from the transceiver. Please observe the following precautions:

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals that power the

transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the

short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose

battery pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc.

When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to

the transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when

it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard.

DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat of

fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.
