Section G. Communications/Navigation System (RB-S)
Introduction
All of the standard marine communications and navigation equipment is
mounted in the cabin of the RB-S. The RB-S utilizes a Scalable Integrated
Navigation System (SINS) that is built around the Furuno NavNet radar/chart
plotter system. The SINS system on the RB-S includes the following:
• 1933C/NT Radar/Video Plotter
• PG1000 Heading Sensor
• GP-37 WAAS/DGPS Navigator
• RD-30 Multi-Display Unit
• 235DT-SSE Depth Sensor
NOTE
G.1.
Raymarine 430
Loudhailer
The Raymarine 430 loudhailer (Figure 3-44) requires a 12-VDC input and
provides 30 watts of output power to the loudhailer speaker on the forward
face of the radar pod. The loudhailer has eight programmable foghorn
signals to be used when operating in conditions of low visibility. The
loudhailer and microphone are mounted on the port side of the dash panel.
Frequent operations and position reports between the boat and its operational control
(OPCON) are critical to crew safety and timely mishap follow-up. Every boat must have
the capability for communicating by radio to the station and other vessels. For radio
protocol, channel selection, and additional radio communication information, refer to
Chapter 11 in the Boat Crew Seamanship Manual, COMDTINST M16114.5 (series); the
Telecommunications Manual, COMDTINST M2000.3 (series); and the Radiotelephone
Handbook, COMDTINST 2300.7 (series).
