a DSC VHF radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired
communications channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16
and requesting to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private
between the two vessels). Up to 100 individual contacts may be programmed.

of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
