Calling an AIS vessel
If the system includes a VHF radio supporting DSC (Digital Select
Calling) calls over NMEA 2000 (ELITE-7Ti only) or NMEA 0183, you
can initiate a DSC call to other vessels from the ELITE-5Ti or
ELITE-7Ti.
The call option is available in the
AIS Vessel Details
dialog, and in
the
Vessel
status dialog activated from the
Tools
panel.
From the
Call
dialog you can change channel or cancel the call. The
Call
dialog is closed when the connection is established.
AIS SART
When an AIS SART (Search and Rescue beacon) is activated, it starts
transmitting its position and identification data. This data is received
by your AIS device.
If your AIS receiver is not compliant with AIS SART, it interprets the
received AIS SART data as a signal from a standard AIS transmitter.
An icon is positioned on the chart, but this icon is an AIS vessel icon.
