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.
