To edit these parameters, use the ARROW buttons to
manoeuvre to the parameter of interest and press
EDIT. Use the DEL button if necessary, and enter the
new value. If non-digits are required, press the
SHIFT button to change to alpha mode. Press the
SHIFT button again to return to digit mode.
While in alpha mode, letters and special characters
can be entered (e.g. the degree symbol °).
Note ! If the user tries to enter a region which parameters locates the region
more than 500 nautical miles away from the vessel, the region will
automatically be discarded. Also when the vessel position is further
than 500 nautical miles from the region, this region is automatically
discarded by the AIS unit.
ChA: The radio channel to be used as channel A.
ChB: The radio channel to be used as channel B.
RxTx: Transmission/reception mode. This parameter indicates
whether or not the AIS should transmit and receive on both channels,
or on only a subset of these.
TxPower: The transmission power of the radio. Low equals 2W, and
High equals 12W.
Lat/Lon: The rectangular area to which the radio parameters apply.
The area is specified by entering the coordinates for the north-east
corner and the south-west corner.
BW A: Bandwidth for the selected channel A.
BW B: Bandwidth for the selected channel B.
Zone: Transition zone for the region. This parameter is given in
nautical miles, and provides information about the transition zone of
the region in which the AIS should change radio parameters to the
ones specified for the region.
