Regarding Distress Relay Calls
This radio cannot send Distress Relay calls. Only large ships
and shore stations, with specially equipped radios, can send
Distress Relay calls.
Receiving Distress Relay Calls
This radio does respond to a Distress Relay call just as it
responds to a Distress call.
Sending an All Ships Call
Use the DSC All Ships call for the same urgency and safety
purposes as the Pan and Securite voice calls as well as
sending Routine messages to all stations at once. The DSC
All Ships call reaches all stations in radio range. Use the
DSC All Ships call for urgent, but not life-threatening
situations or to broadcast a safety warning to all vessels in
the area. Use the DSC All Ships call judiciously for Routine
calls.
To Send an All Ships Call:
1. In Standby mode, select a channel to communicate a
routine call. The radio uses Channel 16 for urgent and
safety calls.
2. Press the Call/Setup button to enter the Call Setup
menu.
3. Scroll to All Ships.
4. Press Enter button for All Ships Call Select.
5. Press the Enter button twice to send a message.
NOTE
The radio display requires confirmation before
sending Urgency and Safety calls.
6. Depending on the type of message selected, the radio
automatically switches to a voice channel.
a. After Urgency and Safety calls, the radio switches to
Channel 16. Once on channel, press the Talk button to
send the Urgency or Safety voice message.
b. After a Routine call, the radio switches to the channel
selected. Once on channel, press the Talk button to
send the Routine voice message.
DSC equipped radios that receive a DSC All Ships call
message are automatically switched to the channel selected
by the sender to hear a voice message unless Automatic
Channel switching been turned off.
To return to Standby mode, without sending a message,
scroll to EXIT and press the Enter button.
Receiving an All Ships Call
All Ships calls received from stations within range of the
radio sound the Distress alarm and switch the radio to
Channel 16.
