5.2 Individual Calls

The Ray54 can make Individual Routine calls.

Making DSC Calls to Coast Stations

The examples in this handbook illustrate making DSC calls to Ship Stations. However, the procedures for making Individual Calls to a Coast Station are different. Calls to a Ship Station require that you enter a subsequent working channel chosen from a pre-programmed list offered to you by the Ray54.

Calls to a Coast Station remove this step from the operating procedures. The Coast Station controls and indicates the subsequent working channel within its acknowledgement.

The Ray54 automatically detects the correct procedures for you based on the type of MMSI number you enter manually or with or the phonebook. If “00” is detected as the first two characters of the MMSI, Coast Station procedures are implemented automatically.

Note: When making a call to a coast station, you will not be asked to select a working channel because that will be provided by the coast station.

Transmitting an Individual Call

To make an Individual Call to a ship or coast station, you must select the specific MMSI number to contact and the working channel to be used for the call. The MMSI ID can be entered manually or selected from a Phonebook list of preprogrammed numbers specified using the MENU function.

1. Press and release the CALL/MENU key to enter the DSC menu. The arrow is pointing to INDIVIDUAL.

2.Push the CH knob to select INDIVIDUAL. The Individual menu appears, which displays the Phonebook entries you have saved and <MANUAL> for manual number entry.
