11.1.1 Individual Directory
The transceiver 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 report transmissions.
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.
Refer to section “

”
for programming.
11.1.2 Individual Reply
This MENU item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manually
respond to a DSC individual call requesting you to switch to a working channel
for voice communications. When the manual response is selected the MMSI
