ATIS ID Programming

•

The Automatic Transmission Identification System (ATIS) feature of this Cobra radio is used to identify marine vessels in some inland waterways of European countries that require ATIS transmission. An ATIS ID number is required to operate the ATIS feature. The ATIS ID number is derived from your vessels call sign. You must enter your ATIS ID number into this radio before the ATIS system will become functional.

Please consult your local dealer for questions about local ATIS requirements. The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland waterways covered by the Basel Agreement.

With this feature activated the vessels ATIS ID number is transmitted after every push of the Talk button.
