English

Suppose you are coordinating safety for a sailboat race. Before the race starts, you instruct all

the racers to enter your group MMSI number into their radios. During the race:

Throughout the race, you use

group calling to update the

racers on the time, race status,

and any course corrections.

A power boat full of

spectators comes a little too

close to the race path. You use

individual calling to contact

the power boat and advise

them to stay clear of the race.

You see a rowboat entering

the area, but since it doesn’t

have a radio, you can’t

communicate with the

rowboat. You use all ships

calling to alert all the other

boats in the area of the

possible danger.

Calling a single station
(Individual Call)

To call a single station with DSC,

follow the steps below:

1. Press

ENT-

1W/25W

4. The radio prompts you to select a response channel. Use

CHANNEL UP

and

CHANNEL DOWN

to scroll through the available channels. When you reach the channel you want to use for

a response, press the

ENT-1W/25W

button.

5. The radio displays the MMSI number you are about to call and asks you to confirm. If you

want to call the displayed MMSI number, select

Send

. To cancel the call, select

Cancel

6. The radio automatically switches to channel 70 to transmit the call request.

When the other station accepts the call, both radios switch to the selected response

channel for voice transmission.
