3.1 INTRODUCTION

OPERATIONS

Your RAY100 has the capability to transmit on all legally available Marine VHF radiotelephone

channels. There are channels that are FCC approved but may only be used by authorized sta-

tions for specific purposes, depending on the type of vessel (commercial or non-commercial).

Carefully review section 3.3.7 which lists all of the marine VHF channels available in your

RAY100 for U.S., International, and Canadian radiotelephone use. Full familiarization with this

table is essential when selecting your channels. The U.S. channels are those channels autho-

rized for use in the U.S. by the FCC. The international frequencies were agreed upon by the

attending countries at the 1966 International Telecommunication Union meeting in Geneva

and are in active use around the world.
