DSC Call Type	Description

POSITION	This option enables you to request GPS position information from any ves-
REQUEST	sel for which an MMSI number is known. You can specify the target vessel
	either by selecting it from your MMSI phonebook or by manually entering
	its MMSI number. You can also be requested to send out your position to
	someone else.

RX CALL LOG	A list of all received DSC Call types (except Distress calls) by number and
	time of call. The log maintains up to 20 calls; the earliest call is stored at
	the end of the list. After more than 20 calls have been received, the call at
	the end of the list is automatically overwritten.
	NOTE: You can place a call directly from the DSC Call Log to the station that
	is currently displayed. You can also add the displayed station to the DSC
	Phonebook.

DISTRESS LOG	Lists all stored Distress Calls by number and time of call. The log maintains
	up to 10 calls; the earliest call is stored at the end of the list. After more
	than 10 Distress Calls have been received, the call at the end of the list is
	automatically overwritten. An Individual call can be placed to the selected
	MMSI/NAME in the log.
	NOTE: Received Distress Relay calls are also stored in the Distress Log.
