the All Ships call.

11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the FM-4000 to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and request-
ing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the
two stations).
11.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The FM-4000 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person’s
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit
Individual calls, position requests and position send transmissions.
