Making Test Calls (Test)
You can use the test call feature to make sure your radio is working and confi gured correctly.
To avoid overloading coastal receiving stations, you should limit test calls to these stations
to once a week.
NOTE: Many coastal stations have specifi c frequencies and MMSI numbers you
should use for making test calls. Before making a test call to a coastal station,
be sure to check the Local notice to Mariners (LnM), issued every week by the
Us Coast Guard. the LnMs for each region are available online at http://www.
navcen.uscg.gov/lnm/default.htm.
