7.8.3 Position Send
The feature is similar to Position Request, however instead of requesting a
position of another vessel this function allows you to send your position to
another vessel. Your vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected
for the QUEST+ to send the position.
NOTE
To transmit a Position Send Call, you must setup the QUEST+ DSC
Individual / Position Call Directory with the name of the vessel(s) or
person and the MMSI of the DSC radio you wish to send your position
to. To setup this directory refer to section 7.7.1 Setting up the Individual
/ Position Call Directory.
