3.3.17.3 All Ships Call
The All Ships Call is used to send out a message to all ships in range that you need assistance but the situation is not serious enough for a Distress Call. This call should only be used if hailing for assistance on channel 9 or 16 fails. There are three types of All Ships Calls: ROUTINE for normal calls, SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger. The RAY215 can transmit and receive all three types of these calls. As with any DSC operation, the call is made on channel 70. Then, after the All Ships Call is sent or received, the radio automatically selects channel 16.
