INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

PAGE 11

If an acknowledgment is received but the other 
radio is unable to comply:

This indicates the called vessel’s radio has received and 
acknowledged your call, but could not change to the 
requested channel. This could mean the called vessel’s radio 
is configured for manual reply or is in a mode where the 
operator does not want the channel to change.

The radio displays: 

Press the 

 key (or wait a further 5 seconds) for radio to 

return to Normal mode.

ALL-SHIPS CALL

An All-Ships call is a DSC broadcast to alert all ships in 
the area. It is the equivalent to sending a PAN-PAN or 
SECURITE voice call. Since the call is to All Ships and not to 
an individual vessel, a calling MMSI is not required. Ships 
receiving an All-Ships call will change to CH16.

To make an All Ships call:

1.  Press the 

CALL 

button.

2.  Select ‘ALL SHIPS’ and press the 

CALL 

button.

3.   Select ‘URGENCY’ or ‘SAFETY’ as appropriate and press 

the

default to Channel 16 automatically.

5.   If another channel is required use the   or   keys to 

select an alternate channel, otherwise press the 

CALL 

button to use Channel 16.

6.  ‘SEND CALL?’ ‘ALL SHIPS’ will be displayed.

7.  Press the 

CALL 

button to send the call.

The radio returns to Normal mode on Channel 16 (or your 
alternative selected channel) as soon as the call has been 
sent.

NOTE: 

There is no DSC acknowledge to an All Ships call.

 

GROUP CALL

A Group Call is used to contact all ships that have the same 
Group MMSI. All ships receiving a Group call will change to 
the specified channel. For example this could be used  
to alert all yachts in a race to announce a change in the  
race conditions.

To make a Group Call:

1.  Press the 

CALL

 button

2.   Select ‘GROUP’ and press the 

CALL

 button again. The 

Group MMSI used is the one programmed into your 
radio (see Configuration Menu).

3.   Select channel to be used for subsequent 

communications then press 

CALL

.

4.  ‘Send CALL? Group’ is displayed

5.  Press

 again to send the call

The radio returns to Normal mode on the selected channel 
as soon as the call has been sent.

NOTE:

 There is no DSC acknowledge to a Group call.

POSITION REQUEST

A Position Request is used to obtain the position of 
another vessel. The other vessel’s position is displayed on 
your radio’s LCD. If you have a chartplotter connected to 
the GX600D, the position of the other vessel can also be 
displayed on the chartplotter’s screen.
