7.11 PA/FOG OPERATION
The
GX6500E/GX6000E
has a 30W hailer built-in and can be used with any 4
Ohm PA horn. Standard Horizon offers two HAIL/PA horns, the
220SW
(5” round
30 Watt HAIL/PA horn) and the
240SW
(5” x 8” rectangular 40 Watt HAIL/PA
horn). When the
GX6500E/GX6000E
is in PA Hail mode the PA speaker listens
back (acts as a microphone and provides two-way communications through
the HAIL/PA horn to the main radio).
NOTE
When in the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode, the
GX6500E/GX6000E
will
continue to receive DSC calls and communications on the last selected
working channel prior to entering the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode.
Then the
GX6500E/GX6000E
AIS page can also be accessed when
in the PA HAIL or FOG HORN mode.
PA HAIL mode:
PA HAIL
mode allows the transceiver to be used as a power hailer when
an optional STANDARD HORIZON
220SW
or
240SW
HAIL/PA horn is
installed. The PA Hail mode has a listen-back feature which provides two
way communication through the HAIL/PA horn.
FOG HORN mode:
Automatic signaling is transmitted through the HAIL/PA horn. When the
fog horn signal is not being outputted the
GX6500E/GX6000E
listens back
through the connected HAIL/PA horn.
HORN mode:
Foghorn sound or siren sound can be transmitted through the HAIL/PA horn.
When the fog horn signal is not being outputted the
GX6500E/GX6000E
listens back through the connected HAIL/PA horn.
