9VHF 7200 US and 7200 EU Operation Manual
NAVMAN
B A Channel suffi x, if applicable.
LOCAL Local calling is selected. Otherwise, blank for distance calling.
DSC DSC capability is available.
ACK A message acknowledging your DSC call is being displayed.
Happy Fish symbol with four indicator levels. It shows the
probability of good fi shing at your current location, based upon
barometric pressure and air temperature. High pressure trends
are associated with stable conditions and calm seas. Research
indicates that best fi shing occurs when barometric pressure is
rising and between 1010 and 1022 mb. During these opportune
conditions, most fi sh are thought to feed anywhere within the
water column. However, low pressure trends bring stormy seas
and affect air bladders, and these conditions make fi sh move to
deeper levels and become less active.
Local weather forecast based on the local temperature and stored
barometric pressure data. The icons are indicative only and are
more accurate close to land rather than in open sea.
Digital Readout of the current barometric pressure (in mb or
in/Hg) or the current temperature (in ºC or ºF), depending upon
your selection.
Baro Graph. A histogram of barometric pressure (mb) readings
over the past 24 hours. The high-resolution histogram centres
automatically if the range goes off scale. Readouts are taken
even when the engine and radio have been powered down (with
typically less than 3mA of current drain).
A typical operational display is
shown:
The latitude and longitude of the
vessel and the UTC time are
displayed.
Channel 16 is selected in the HIGH
power mode using the International
channel bank. Channel 16 is set as
the Priority channel.
The Happy Fish icon with three bars
indicates good fi shing.
Clouds are coming soon and the
current barometic pressure is
displayed.
