To transmit on the VHF 725e:
1. Perform Steps 1 through 4 of the procedure for
receiving, above.
2. Choose a correct channel for communications.
Channels are restricted to use by various
government agencies, types of vessels and
maritime service operators. Review the list in
Appendix C to determine which channels are
available for your use.
3. Wait until the channel you have selected is free of
communications. THIS IS A REGULATORY
AGENCY REQUIREMENT!
NOTE: For communications over short distances,
press the H/L key until “LOW” is displayed on the
LCD. This reduces transmission power to one
watt, prolonging battery life.
