Standard Horizon HX370S owner manual VHF Marine Channel, Channel USE

as duplex on the charts, correct mode of operation is established auto- matically by your radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio.

5.Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include the term “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some of these are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geographic regions.

6.Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.
