DISABLING AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SWITCHING
If you are involved in a bridge-to-bridge call, you may not want the radio to automatically
switch channels when it receives a DSC call. In cases like this, you can disable automatic
channel switching. If you receive an individual call, the radio will respond with an
unattended code, just as if the radio were in Standby.

Auto Channel Switch.

Auto Channel Switch
screen displays, giving you the option to
Accept
DSC calls
when they come in (default),

DSC calls, or make a
Manual
decision for each
incoming call. When you have selected an option, the radio returns to the DSC
SETUP
screen.
NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Deactivating automatic switching and then forgetting it can
make it hard for you to receive DSC calls.
If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You can review
who has called through the DSC logs. The radio displays the last 50 transmitted calls and
the last 50 received calls (see page E-34).
GPS FEATURES
GPS OPERATION OVERVIEW
Your GPS system provides more than just your specific location. The
MOB
(Man
Overboard) soft key (see page E-14) lets you immediately save your current position so
rescuers can converge on that exact man overboard location. The
Favorites
menus let you
create a directory of favorite places and their coordinates so you can easily return there.
