Receiving a Distress Call

When a DSC Distress call is received, the radio automatically enters DSC mode if you are currently on a selected working channel or private channel, in the Monitor mode, or in the Scan mode. You will not receive a DSC call if the radio is transmitting or receiving a non-DSC call.

1.When receiving a calling signal, the unit sounds the DSC tone and enters the DSC mode. A “d” flashes in the small channel display for Distress.

2.Press the DSC/PRI key. The radio accepts the call, silences the alarm, and switches to channel 16.

Note: When a Distress Call is received, the unit emits a VERY LOUD distress alarm tone. Pressing the DSC/PRI key mutes this alarm but does NOT cancel the Distress Call.

3.Because it is Class “D” DSC compliant, the RAY215E can receive a DSC Distress Call but cannot acknowledge or relay the call. After the Distress Call is received, attempt to contact the vessel in distress on channel 16 and render assistance.
