9.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the GX3000E to contact another vessel with 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 stations).

9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory

The GX3000E 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 Indi- vidual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.

To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with the informa- tion of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones directory.

1. Press and hold down the [CALL(MENU)] key until “Radio Setup” menu appears.

2. Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to select “DSC Setup” menu.

3. Press the [ENT] key, then select “INDIV DIR” with the

CHANNEL selector knob. 4. Press the [ENT] key, then select “Add” with the CHAN-

NEL selector knob.

5. Press the [ENT] key. 6. Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to scroll to the first

letter of the name of the vessel or person you want to

list in the directory. 7. Press the [ENT] key to store the first letter of the

name and step to the next letter to the right. 8. Repeat step 6 and 7 until the name is complete. The

name can consist of up to eleven characters, if you do not use all eleven characters press the [ENT] key to move to the next space. This method can also be

used to enter a blank space in the name. To clear the previous letter, press the [CLR] key.

9. After the eleventh letter or space has been entered, press and hold the [ENT] key to advance to the MMSI Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number number en- try.

10.Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to scroll through numbers, 0-9. To enter the desired number and move one space to the right press the [ENT] key.
