9.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the
GX1100E
to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communications
channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to go
to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the two stations).
9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The
GX1100E
has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person’s
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit Indi-
vidual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with the informa-
tion of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones directory.
