vhf ring

[Gnasher]

i eventually sorted out my wiring probs for my navman 7100 vhf, but now every 5 mins it rings like a telephone. any ideas?

Sounds like you are getting a DSC call. Does the display say anything? Sometimes the DSC message is in small writing.

and look for any flashing icons.

ours is a navman, and rings like an old mobile when it looses the gps signal (i.e. we turn the plotter off). you have to press esc to stop it

If you need a users manual go here http://www.navmanmarine.net/upload/Marine/...0VHF_Screen.pdf and it will download it for you.

My one does the same..................

 

If the GPS is not switched on

 

if a DSC call is received

 

Sometimes as a result of low battery charge - Gps looses signal and then causes VHF ring / alarm to go off.

 

Press escape or change from Channel 16 to Channel 6 - it should stop - check battery charge.

 

If not..........haven't a clue

if you aren't going to connect it to a GPS go into the comm menu and turn the NMEA checksum to off and it will stop making noises unless it receives a DSC call.
