Frequently Asked Questions

What is the range?	There is not set range.  VHF radios operate by line of sight. Under most conditions the range should be approximately 20nm.
Why can't I get weather?	The unit may be in an international mode and not searching for available US weather information. Press the H/L and WX buttons simultaneously to cycle between these two modes.
What channel do I use?	This depends greatly on what you want to say and who you want to speak with. This is explained in the manual some. A breif desription is also supplied here.
What is an MMSI number? Why do I need an MMSI number? Where do I get an MMSI number?	MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity. This is like a phone number. You must enter this number of the other party you wish to make a DSC call to. Other parties must also know your MMSI number before the can make a DSC call to you. To register for a unique MMSI number, select this link.
What if I make a mistake entering my MMSI number?	Please see your local dealer for assistance.
What is the difference between Simplex and Duplex?	The channel in use for communication may be either. If the channel is a Simplex channel, the channel uses only one frequency for transmitting and receiving signals. This makes communication similar to a CB where only one party can talk at a time. Duplex channels actually operate on two different frequencies allow for the radio to transmit and receive at the same time. This is similar to your telephone.
Why does the radio cut me off after 5 minutes of transmitting?	After 5 minutes of constant transmission, the LHR-80 will end transmitting. This is required by the FCC. Simply end a transmission before this time and start your transmission again.
Will my radio work with an NMEA 2000 network?	No, it operates on NMEA 0183 (RS-232).
Can I use this radio in outside the USA?	Yes!  However, Navico recommends that you check the radio operating licensing requirements of your country before using the radio. The operator is solely responsible for observing proper radio installation and usage practices.
What is the FCC ID #?	EP78TQ LHR80
