7.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the
HX851E
to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on Channel 16 and
requesting to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private be-
tween the two stations).
7.5.1 SETTING UP THE INDIVIDUAL / POSITION CALL DIRECTORY
The
HX851E
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
Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions. The
HX851E
can memorize up to 48 stations.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
