Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC) 53
Receiving a Position Request From Another Station
If you receive a position request from another station, how the Ray54E
responds depends on the option you have set in the Position Reply menu item
(see page 81).
OFF will not send position data under any circumstances.
AUTOMATIC sends out your vessel’s position data as soon as it is requested.
MANUAL sends out the data only after you respond to the request.
When a Manual Position Reply is received, the requesting station’s MMSI
number or station name (if entered in the Phonebook) is displayed.
Push in the
CH knob to view and accept the request to send your position data.
Decline the request by pressing
CLEAR.
5.7 Call Log
The Call Log is a list of the last 20 DSC received INDIVIDUAL, GROUP
and ALL SHIPS call types by number and time of call. This does not include
Distress Calls, which are maintained in their own log.
If the calling vessel or station is listed in your DSC Phonebook, the vessel or
station name appears in the display as it is listed. If the caller is not listed in
your directory, the caller’s MMSI ID number appears in the display. Usually,
the radio is set to a channel selected by the caller if a channel change request
is accepted.
When a DSC Call is received, the envelope icon appears on the LCD. The
envelope icon disappears when the log is opened.
1. Press and release the
CALL/MENU key to enter the DSC menu. The
arrow is pointing to
INDIVIDUAL.
