NOTE

MMSI or vessels name will appear on the LCD.
7.8.2 Position Request
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the QUANTUM.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Hori-
zon GPS is connected to the QUANTUM, the polled position of the vessel is
shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the
location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know
the position of another vessel. For example your buddy that is catching fish, or
finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its
DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (Refer the section 7.7 to enter information into the individual
directory).
