Setting the Power Output (HI/LO)
The choice of power output is dependent upon the distance of transmission and
transmitting conditions. As a part of FCC procedures and marine communications
courtesy, make initial contact using low power. Switch to high power only when
contact can not be made on low power or in emergency situations.
If conditions require that you change transmission power for the currently-
selected channel, select the HI/LO POWER menu option under VHF OPS. Press the
HI/LO soft key to toggle the TX power from LOW (1 watt) to HIGH (25 watts). The
corresponding LO or HI indicator appears.
You can also press the
HI/LO–LOC/DIS
key on the microphone to toggle TX power.
