Sending a Geographical Call

This radio does not send Geographical calls. Only large ships and shore stations with specially equipped radios send Geographical calls.

Geographical calls are transmitted by specially equipped radios to all stations in a particular area to alert only those stations of the call and not stations in unaffected geographical areas. When in an area to which a Geographical call is made, the radio sounds the geographical alarm and switches to the channel chosen by the transmitting station.
