Placing an Individual Routine Call
When you connect your Garmin chartplotter to a Garmin VHF NMEA 2000-compatible radio, you
can use the chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine call. When setting up an individual
routine call from your chartplotter, you can select one of the following channels on which you want
to communicate. The radio transmits this request with your call.
The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those channels that are available in all frequency bands:
6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, or 77.
Note: The default channel is 72. Select Channel to select a different channel from the list. If you
select a different channel, the chartplotter will use that channel for subsequent calls until you call using a
different channel.
