Unit
Description
The VHF 725e is a 5 watt marine VHF communications
transceiver in a convenient handheld package.
A keypad located on the front of the unit provides one-
hand control of communication features. The knobless
design allows push-button Squelch and Volume adjust-
ment. A single button press provides a manual Squelch
Override function. Tri-Watch monitoring mode allows
simultaneous monitoring of emergency channel (16), Call
channel and a working channel programmed by the user.
The channel 16 key allows you to toggle between emer-
gency and working channels.
A 1” high by 1-3/8” wide LCD display provides
indication of all features and functions of the VHF 725e.
The scan feature allows the operator to select up to 10
channels for continuous monitoring in any combination of
U.S.A., Canadian, and International bands.
Call Channel programming allows you to select and
program a channel for regular conversation for instant
access by pressing the Call key. The high/low key toggles
the transmitter power level from between five watts and
one watt. When held for more than one second, it locks
and unlocks the “Key Lock” function to prevent inadvert-
ent changing of unit settings and modes.
The power key turns the unit off and on and, when
pressed briefly after the unit is powered on, enables the
display backlighting feature and illuminates the keys on
the front of the unit.
Small size and light weight characterize the portability
of the GARMIN VHF 725e.
