GMDSS Comm. CH 70
With the GMDSS COMM. CH 70 mode and the setup below, the test box can be used to poll
AIS information from the transponder on CH70 or on the alternative channels 06 and 15.
The AIS transponder can be polled for information on position, length, course, name/identity,
acknowledge message, speed and VTS expansion.
In the GMDSS COMM. CH 70 mode, press OK.
In the SWITCH VHF CH 70 mode:
- press OK if you wish to set the transponder to CH 70,
- press NEXT and OK if you wish to set the transponder to CH 06,
- press NEXT again and OK if you wish to set the transponder to CH 15.
- press NEXT again and OK to poll position,
- press NEXT again and OK to poll length,
- press NEXT again and OK to poll … etc.
After each polling, wait for the transponder to respond and check the polling data appearing on
the test box display. Upon your OK, the test box will return to the SWITCH VHF CH 70 mode,
from where you can scroll down to the next polling, and so on.
Note, that the VTS EXPANSION mode has two sub modes: TRANSMITTER POWER LEVEL
and SHIPS BEAM.
If you select the alternative channels 06 or 15, remember to switch back to CH 70 later on using
the SWITCH VHF CH 70 menu.
