Receiving a Position Request From Another Station
If you receive a position request from another station, how the Ray218E/Ray55E
responds depends on the option you have set in the Position Reply menu item (see
page 99). OFF will not send position data under any circumstances. AUTO sends
out your vessel’s position data as soon as it is requested. MANUAL sends out the
data only after you respond to the request.
The 2 alternating pages of data are recorded in the Posit’n Log. The envelope icon
(
)
blinks until you accept the call, reject the call, or open the resulting unread
message stored in the Log. See page “Received Calls (Logs)“ on page 94.
When a Manual Position Reply is received, the requesting station’s MMSI number
or station name (if entered in the Phonebook) is displayed. Press ACCEPT to
accept the request to send your position data. Decline the request by pressing
CANCEL or the
CLEAR
key.
