VHF Marine Channel Assignments
•
Three (3) sets of VHF Channel Maps have been established for marine use
internationally, in Canada and in the U.S.A. Most of the channels are the same for
all three (3) maps, but there are definite differences (see table on the following pages).
Your radio has all three (3) maps built into it and will operate correctly in whichever area
you choose. When shipped from the factory, your radio will be set to the International
Channel Map. (See page 19 for instructions on how to change the Channel Map.)
The following is a brief outline for some of the channel assignments
in the International Channel Map.
Distress, Safety and Calling
Channel 16
Getting the attention of another station (calling) or in emergencies (distress and safety).
Intership Safety
Channel 6
Ship-to-ship safety messages and for search and rescue messages to
coastguard ships and aircraft.
On-Board Communication
Channel 15, 17
Used for communication between parts of large ships.
Navigational
Channels 13, 67, 75, 76
Channels are available to all vessels. Messages must be about navigation,
including passing or meeting other vessels. These are also the main working
channels for most locks and drawbridges.
Digital Selective Calling
Channel 70
This channel is set aside for distress, safety and general calling using
only digital selective calling techniques. Voice communication is prohibited;
your radio cannot transmit voice messages on this channel.
NOTE
The U.S.A. and Canada impose restrictions on the use of many channels within
their territorial waters. These are noted in the channel assignment chart. If
operating your vessel in U.S.A. or Canadian waters, consult the national communi-
cation authority or a knowledgeable local radio operator for further guidance.
Accessories
•
Your Cobra radio has several optional accessories available to enhance the use
of the radio. Some are listed below:
Alkaline Battery Tray
A special alkaline battery tray (P/N CM 110-011)
is available as an optional accessory to have as an
emergency backup. By using six (6) high-quality
AA alkaline batteries, you can have a spare battery
backup source for your radio.
NOTE
Alkaline batteries are not rechargeable.
Lapel Speaker/Microphone
A speaker/microphone, that attaches to your lapel,
by ordering P/N CM 330-001.
This unique accessory allows you to wear the radio
on your belt while still being able to communicate
with other vessels. A small Push to Talk (PTT) button
on the lapel
speaker/microphone allows you to answer
any incoming call.
Long Life Battery
A long life replacement battery. P/N CM 110-010.
1900 mAh LiON replacement battery. Can be used
with the charger included with this radio. The radio
