8.4 Normal DSC Calls
Your
MT-700
can transmit the types of DSC calls; Distress, All Ship’s, Individual, and
Group. Except for Distress, each call type is subdivided into one or more priorities.
All Ship’s type transmits two priorities: Urgency and Safety.
Individual type transmits one priority: Routine.
Group type transmits one priority:
Routine.
Also
MT-700
can transmit the calls of advanced Individual Routine priority; Position
Send, and Position Request. Lat/Lon position from another vessel can be transferred
to the DSC equipped chart plotter, if it is connected.
A normal DSC call may be originated from your vessel to another DSC equipped
vessel or to a coast station, or you may reply to a DSC call sent by another vessel or a
coast station. Outgoing calls are made either by selecting a vessel or station name
from your directory or by manually entering the vessel or station MMSID number
(Position Send and Position Request are made from your directory only).
Replies to any incoming call type can be made directly from the call log. The call log
(LAST CALL) holds thirty two entries and the last call received is on top of the list. If
the call log is full, the oldest entry is lost.
Individual DSC Call
Individual calls can be made to another vessel or to a coast station. It is important to
be able to differentiate between the two. When calling another vessel, the
communication channel is specified in the call by the calling vessel. If
communicating with a coast station, it is the coast station in its acknowledgment that
determines the channel. Your
MT-700
transceiver transmits Routine individual calls,
but receives both Routine and Safety individual calls.
- Directory Call
