and by other vessels. Use of Channel 16 for calling or hailing must be

limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30 seconds and

may be repeated 3 times at 2 minute intervals.

Prior to making contact with another vessel, determine which channel will be

used for continued communication after the initial contact. Monitor the

desired channel for traffic and, when clear, switch to Channel 16 to make

initial contact.

Listen for traffic on the Calling Channel (16). If clear, press the Push To Talk

(PTT) button on the microphone. Speak the name of the vessel you are

calling followed by “This is” and the name of your vessel and your call sign.

Release the PTT and listen for a reply. When the other vessel returns your

call, acknowledge the call with “go to”, the number of the new channel and

“over”. Switch to the new channel and listen for traffic. If necessary, wait

for traffic to clear, and then call the other vessel. As communication

proceeds, end each transmission with “over”. When communication with

the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission with your call sign

and the word “out”. It is not necessary to end each transmission with your

call sign, just give your call sign at the beginning and end of each contact.

Remember to switch to Channel 16 when not actively communicating on

another channel.

3.3 Telephone Calls

You may use your FX-400 transceiver to make telephone calls to persons on

shore. To do so requires the services of marine operators who operate on

designated Public Correspondence channels. There are several channels

designated for this type of traffic and to determine the channel being used in

your area, ask someone with local knowledge, contact a Harbor Master or

other marine authority.

Call the marine operator and identify yourself with your vessel’s name.

Normally you contact a marine operator on their working channel rather than

making initial contact on Channel 16. The marine operator will ask for your

intentions and establish a payment method for the call (collect, credit card,

etc.). When arrangements are complete, your radio communication will be

patched into the telephone line. In conversing with a person on the phone it

is important to use normal radio communication procedures. You should

say ”over” and release the PTT button at the end of each transmission.

Both parties cannot speak simultaneously as on normal telephone calls.

Usually there is a fee for marine operator services which is charged in

addition to any other charges associated with the call.
