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.
