Understanding Position Reports
A Position Report is similar to a Distress Call except no alarm is
sounded. Position Reports are not broadcast to all DSC users and
are shown with a boat symbol.
Receiving DSC Calls
Each time you receive a Distress Call or Position Report, a
Notification page is displayed, and the call is placed in the DSC
Call List and Log. The Notification page contains information
about the call including: the type of call (distress or position
report), the MMSI number of the caller, a user definable name,
the time and date of the call, the Bearing and Distance from your
current position, and the coordinates of the caller. To see the
callers location on a map, select the
Show Map
button. To create a
waypoint at the callers location, select the
Create Wpt
button. To
close the Notification page, press the
QUIT
key.
When a Distress Call or Position Report is placed in the Call List
and Log, the information on the Notification page is retained.
To review a DSC call or log entry, highlight the entry and
press
ENTER
. The DSC Entry Review page is identical to the
Notification page with one exception, the entry can be deleted.
