Transmitting The SOLARA transmits on 54 marine frequencies and receives 80 different marine frequencies. Certain channels - the weather channels, channel 70 of both the USA and International frequencies, and channel 15, 81 and 83 of the USA frequencies - are receive only. Your radio will not transmit on these channels. For your reference, a listing of all the available marine channels is printed on the back cover foldout. Setting TX Output Caution: It is important to remember to always use the LO position in port or for short range communications. 1. When you turn the SOLARA on, the unit is automatically set to transmit at 25 watts. 2. Press HI/LO, to change the transmitter output to 1W. 3. Press HI/LO again, to change back to the higher power setting. Note: Each time the HI/LO key is pressed a short tone sounds.
