The GX300 is capable of operating on both the Australian
27 MHz Marine band and the Australian 27 MHz Citizens
Band. This makes your radio very versatile in that it can be
used in your vehicle, on a boat or even on a motorcycle
or tractor.
When you first install your GX300, it should default to the
27 MHz marine band. When operating on the marine band
the radio will display channels 68 – 98 and default to safety
Ch 88.
To select the 27 MHz CB band, turn the radio OFF, then
press and hold the 88/Pri key while turning the radio on
again. The radio will now display channels 1 – 40 and
default to road Ch 8.
Repeat the sequence above to return to the marine band.
NOTE: Class licence 2001 prohibits the use of a Maritime
Ship Station for land-based communications. When the
Marine band is selected, the GX300 should only be used
Ship-to-Ship, Ship-to-Shore or Shore-to-Ship.
