7.6.2 Receiving an All Ships Call
1. When an all ships call is received, an emergency
alarm sounds.
The radio will automatically change to channel 16.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.
3. Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to see the MMSI
of the vessel transmitting the All Ships Call.
4. Monitor channel 16 or traffic channel until the UR-
GENCY voice communication is completed.
7.7 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the MATRIX 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 re-
questing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private be-
tween the two stations).
7.7.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The MATRIX has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person
names and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit
Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with informa-
tion of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone
directory.
