Method and apparatus for selecting a marine radio operating mode

摘要

A marine vessel ( 102 ) is operable to set the operating mode of its marine radio ( 108 ) based upon the location of the marine vessel ( 102 ). The marine vessel ( 102 ) includes a first processor component ( 340 ) operable to determine the location of the marine vessel ( 102 ) based upon signal inputs ( 140, 142, 144 ). The marine radio ( 108 ) incorporates a database ( 310 ) containing a set of at least two operating modes and a second processor component ( 300 ) operable to select an operating mode from the set of at least two operating modes based on the location of the marine vessel ( 102 ).
