Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS)

Your product includes ATIS functionality for use on the inland waterways of contracting governments of the “Regional Arrangement on the Radiocommunication Service for Inland Waterways” — also known as “RAINWAT”.

ATIS IDATIS adds data at the end of radio transmissions that identifies your station. ATIS operation can be turned on or off as needed via the radio’s menu.

An ATIS ID can be obtained from the same agency that issues radio operator licenses in your area.

Your ATIS ID should be programed into your product using the instructions provided.

Note

Contracting RAINWAT countries include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak Republic and Switzerland.
When ATIS is enabled, certain programing steps have been implemented to protect the integrity of the RAINWAT agreement, including the blocking of DSC functions when ATIS is enabled.
A unique ATIS ID must be entered before ATIS mode can be enabled.
The ATIS ID can only be entered when the EUR channel set is selected.
If your VHF radio is set to the EUR (Europe CEPT) Frequency band and ATIS is set to ON, you cannot change to the INT (International) Frequency band until ATIS is set to OFF.
