Automatic Transmitter Identification System
Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is a vessel identification
system used on certain inland waterways in some European countries. See your
Garmin dealer to program your VHF radio if you plan to use your radio on
waterways that are within the bounds of the Regional Arrangement Concerning
the Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (the Basel Agreement). ATIS is
prohibited outside the European inland waterways that are covered by the Basel
Agreement.
When you enable ATIS, your radio sends a data signal identifying your station at
the end of every transmission. Data identifying your position is not sent, but your
position is calculated through the method of triangulation by coastal stations that
receive your transmissions.
To enable ATIS, you must enter your ATIS identification number (page 6), and
turn on ATIS. See your Garmin dealer to determine your ATIS identification
number and to learn about ATIS requirements for your region.
Your radio disables these functions when you enable ATIS.
• Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
• Dual watch and Tri watch
• Channel scanning
International channels 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 71, 72, 74, and 77 restrict
transmitting to low-power (1 W) when you enable ATIS.
Entering Your ATIS Identification Number
NOTICE
You can enter your ATIS identification number only once. If you must change
your ATIS identification number after entering it, you must take your radio to your
