b) Region Settings
A Region is a defined area, with specific VHF parameters, which are sent out by Vessel Traffic
Service Stations (VTS), and received via Digital Selective Calling (DSC) or AIS.
The screen shows a list of Regions, and their input sources. When the vessel enters into one of the
pre-defined Regions, the NAUTICAST™ automatically switches to the relevant Region Setting. If a
Region Number is vacant, then the relevant Region Name Slot is currently unoccupied.
Tip
:
For fast Region Selection, press the Region Number on the keyboard and the selected region is
immediately displayed.
