Private Channels: These are channels that require special
registration to use and must be programmed into the International
Channel Band by your radio dealer. Contact your radio dealer to
determine availability of programming and private channels. A list
of these channels is contained in the VHF Channel List on pages 30
through 32.
Marina Channels: These are channels located in the International
Channel Band assigned to specific marinas in European countries.
These channels must also be programmed at your request by your
radio dealer. A list of Marina channels is contained in the VHF
Channel List on page 29.
NOTE: Programming of Private Channels and Marina Channels can be
done only by your VHF Radio Dealer who is authorized and has the
knowledge to program the VHF 725e. Your dealer is also prepared to assist
you in making application for license for your use of private channels.
Altering your VHF 725e without proper authorization is strictly prohibited
and may result in penalties and fines.
Some channels will appear on the display with an “A” suffix. These
are “Simplex Channels” receiving and transmitting on the same
frequency. See “Selecting a Channel” on page 16 for a more detailed
explanation. There are other regular channels in the list of channels
on pages 28 and 29 that are not defined above. They have special
uses that do not apply generally to regular maritime traffic and
communications.
