Setting Dual or TriWatch
There are two specialty channels, 16, and
9. Channel 16 is the primary distress/
Coast Guard/Hailing channel while Chan-
nel 9 is typically the backup hailing/calling
channel for areas where there is higher
level of marine trafc. Depending on your location, you can
choose to monitor both distress channel 16, the extra hailing
channel 9 as well as the radio channel you are otherwise using
(TRIWATCH), or you can choose to only monitor channel 16
and your regular channel (DUALWATCH) which lets the radio
check each channel more frequently.
From the RADIO MENU screen,
use ▲ or ▼ to reach the Dual/
TriWatch option. Press ENTER.
Press either ▲ or ▼ to reach
either 16/9 TriWatch (default) or 16 DualWatch. Press
ENTER to select it. A double beep sounds and the
radio returns to the RADIO MENU screen.
Press MENU again to return to the marine mode.
