AUTOMATIC sends out your vessel’s position data as soon as it is requested. MANUAL sends out the data only after you respond to the request.
OFF will not send position data under any circumstances, nor notify you that the request has been made.
The default setting is MANUAL, which is described in Receiving a Position Request From Another Station on page 53.
Note: The Position Reply function is only available when a working GPS is connected to the radio.
Automatic Channel Changing for Incoming Calls
For incoming Distress and All Ships Urgency Calls, this option determines whether your radio automatically switches to Priority Channel 16 to receive the call or prompts you to manually accept or decline the channel change.
The default setting is to ENABLE the auto channel change.
This feature is useful for preventing your radio from automatically switching channels while you are maintaining a continuous watch on a certain channel (for example, in a VTS controlled area) or working with other vessels (for example, for towage).
Note: This feature can disable automatic channel switching for incoming DSC Distress and All Ships Urgency Calls. If enabled, you are responsible for determining whether manually declining the call is appropriate.
By regulation, this feature cannot disable the automatic switching of Individual Distress and Individual Urgency Alerts.
➤ To enable/disable the channel change:
1.From the DSC SETUP menu item described on page 71, rotate the CH knob until the arrow points to AUTO CH CHG.
