SENDING AN INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the user to contact another user vessel DSC and to
automatically switch the receiving DSC radio to a desired working channel.
This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to go to
another channel. To send an individual call, see section 7.5 INDIVIDUAL
DIRECTORY SETUP. The individual call function allows you to transmit a
DSC signal to a specific party only, prompting communication on a voice
channel.
1. Select the traffic channel for voice communica-
tion.
2. Press the
CALL/SET
key.
The DSC CALLING menu will appear.
3. Turn the
Channel Selector
knob to select
INDIVIDUAL.
(To cancel, select EXIT with the
Channel
Selector
knob or press the
16/9
key.)
4. Press the
CALL/SET
key.
The transceiver will beep, and the individual
directory will appear.
5. Turn the
Channel Selector
knob to select the
individual you want to contact.
6. Press the
CALL/SET
key to transmit the
individual DSC signal.
7. After INDIVIDUAL CALL is transmitted, the
transceiver will wait 8 seconds for the
acknowledgment. If the reply signal is not
received, the transceiver will transmit again.
8. After the second INDIVIDUAL CALL is
transmitted, if the reply signal is not received,
the dot matrix area of the LCD will display
“>SEND” to prompt the user to send the call
again or exit the mode.
9. When an individual call acknowledgment “able
to comply” is received, the established channel
is automatically selected and an alarm sounds.
