3.13.2 Receive Mode for EGC Reception (Receive-Mode)
The JUE-87 has following two kinds of receive mode;
“Inmarsat-C” mode: EGC message can be received when Inmarsat-C mode is not
communicated.
“EGC receive only” mode: EGC message can be received continuously and Inmarsat-C mode may be
ignored. However, the distress alert can be transmitted in EGC receive
only mode.
This command is effective only while the MES status displayed at the
first line of the IME/DTE is
