[. . . ] Introduction Our Thanks to You and Customer Assistance Thank you for purchasing a CobraMarineTM VHF radio. Properly used, this Cobra® product will give you many years of reliable service. How Your CobraMarineTM VHF Radio Works This radio is a battery powered portable transceiver for use afloat. It gives you two-way vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore station communications, primarily for safety and secondarily for navigation and operational purposes. [. . . ] The rest of the plain numbered channels and all of the A channels, such as 01A, 03A and 04A, transmit and receive on a single frequency, which is termed simplex operation. When in simplex operation, the A icon will appear on the LCD (see illustration on page A3). NOTE All the listed channels are pre-programmed at the factory according to the FCC (U. S. A. ), international regulations and those of Industry Canada (Canada). They cannot be altered by the user nor can modes of operation be changed between simplex and duplex. 20 English Nothing comes close to a Cobra® 21 VHF Marine Radio Protocols NOAA Weather Channels and Alert · Installation Included in this Package · NOAA Weather Channels and Alert Included in this Package You should find all of the following items in the package with your CobraMarineTM VHF radio: Radio Cigarette Lighter Plug Monitoring the weather will probably be a frequent use of your VHF radio. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides continuous, around-the-clock broadcasts of the latest weather information. Taped weather messages run every four to six minutes and are revised every two to three hours, or as needed. The Coast Guard also announces weather and other safety warnings on Channel 16. Smart boaters keep an eye on safety and an ear to the VHF radio -- and never let the weather catch them unaware. NOAA Emergency Weather Alert In the event of a major storm or other weather condition requiring vessels at sea or on other bodies of water to be notified, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that receivers such as your CobraMarineTM VHF radio can detect and warn you of a weather alert condition. When the weather alert signal is sent on the weather channel you last used, your radio will switch from Standby mode to that weather channel. You will not hear the tone signal, but you will hear the weather alert message. The Weather Alert icon can be turned on or off by pressing the Mode button. Operating Instruction Manual Belt Clip Test To test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz signal every Wednesday sometime between 11 a. m. Any receiver that can detect the weather alert tone may use this feature to verify that this feature is functioning properly.
