Examples of Mode Applications

While there are many scenarios for making a mode choice or setting the MHS550 in a certain manner that applies to your own special requirements, we hope the following three examples might help you get started.

1.You’re a safety boat at the scene of a yacht race. You have to monitor the Intership safety channel, 06, yet you want to monitor Channel 16 for emergency traffic.

Select DualWatch, with Channel 06 as the normal working channel.

.You’re fishing, and there are four channels being used by local anglers: Channels 68, 69, 71, and 09. Put all four channels into memory, and use Normal Scanning to listen to them in succession.

3.You’re cruising with your family on Lake Erie, and you are concerned about a summer thunderstorm in your area. First select the weather channel with the best reception, then return to the marine band. Press and hold WX/ALERT so that your radio monitors the local weather channel for Weather Alert broadcasts.

Accessory Options — Using the External Speaker/Mic Jack

You can connect an optional external speaker-mic to this watertight jack. Unscrew the cap, which is held by the rubber cap-keeper to prevent loss. Insert the special gasketed plug and screw down the shell, which assures prevention of water entering the jack. Two available units are HHSPM Speaker Mic [Uniden SKU 7830425] and VOX100 Headset Mic. [Uniden SKU 7830409] For details, consult your Uniden dealer or call 1-800-554-3988.
