SWITCHING BANDS
The GX400 is capable of operating on both the Australian 27 MHz Marine Band and the
Australian 27 MHz Citizens Band. This makes your radio very versatile in that it can be used in
your vehicle, on a boat or even on a motorcycle or tractor.
When you first install your GX400, it should default to the 27 MHz Marine Band. When
operating on the Marine Band the radio will display channels 68 – 98 and the key will default
to safety Channel 88.
To select the CB band, turn the radio OFF, then press and hold the
DW
key while turning the radio
on again. The radio will now display channels 1 – 40 and the key will default to road Channel 8.
Repeat the sequence above to return to the Marine Band.
NOTE:
Class licence 2001 prohibits the use of a Maritime Ship Station for land-based
communications. When the Marine Band is selected, the GX400 should only be used for
Ship-to-Ship, Ship-to-Shore or Shore-to-Ship communications.
