3.6 Weather Alert (Wx ALERT)
7200 US only.
The NOAA provides several weather forecast channels on USA and Canadian channel banks. If
severe weather such as storms or hurricanes are forecast, the NOAA broadcasts a weather alert
on 1050Hz. You can set up the radio to pick up weather alerts, as follows:
1. Select RADIO SETUP, then WX
ALERT.
2. Select ON (on) then press ENT to enable
the setting and return to the menu.
When a weather alert is broadcast, the alarm will sound. Press any key to hear the weather alert
voice message.
3.7 NMEA & NMEA protocol (COM PORT)
The radio can be added to a group of instruments using NMEA or NAVBUS protocol. NAVBUS
is automatically activated, when present, so that data such as barometric pressure history,
temperature, DSC polling postions and distress data is available to other Navman instruments.
However, the barometric and temperature readings from this 7200 radio can be switched off if
you prefer to use the readings from a different instrument.
You may select your GPS DATA source from either NMEA or NAVBUS as shown:
3.7.1 NMEA as GPS SOURCE
1. Select RADIO SETUP, then COM PORT.
2. Select NMEA then press ENT.
3. Select NMEA as the GPS SOURCE and press ENT.
3. Select NMEA ON (on) then press ENT.
4. Select CHECKSUM ON (on) or OFF (off). CHECKSUM ON is the usual setting. Press ENT
to enable the setting and return to the menu.
