4.6.18.10 Receiving a Distress Relay Call

Sometimes a ship’s distress call can be relayed from another ship or a shore station. The RAY215E can only receive a Relayed Distress call that has been addressed to All Ships.

When a Relayed Distress call is received, the DSC indicator flashes, dSr appears on the 7-segment display, and the DSC Distress alert is sounded. On the dot matrix display are scrolled RECEIVED, RELAY, the MMSI number of the station making the call, DISTRESS, the type of distress, the MMSI number of the ship in distress, the latitude and longitude of that ship, and the time of transmission.

ENT or CLR

MMSI number of transmitting station. If registered in the list, the nickname appears instead.

MMSI number of ship in distress. If not known, UNKNOWN appears here instead.

The displayed message continues until either ENT or CLR is pressed. At that time, the radio switches to Channel 16 in high power and the contents of the communication are stored in the Log File.
