Transmitting
The SOLARA transmits on 54 marine frequencies and receives 80
different marine frequencies. Certain channels — the weather channels,
channel 70 of both the USA and International frequencies, and channel
15, 81 and 83 of the USA frequencies — are receive only. Your radio will
not transmit on these channels. For your reference, a listing of all the
available marine channels is printed on the back cover foldout.
Setting TX Output
Caution: It is important to remember to always use the LO position in
port or for short range communications.
1. When you turn the SOLARA on, the
unit is automatically set to transmit
at 25 watts.
2. Press HI/LO, to change the transmitter
output to 1W.
3. Press HI/LO again, to change back to
the higher power setting.
Note: Each time the HI/LO key is pressed a short tone sounds.
Emergency High Power Override
The FCC has limited transmission power to 1W on channels 13 and 67,
except in emergencies. These channels are set automatically to LO
when selected.
For example, you are on Channel 13.
