4.4.16.4 Transmitting a Group Call

You can send and receive DSC calls from groups of stations that share the
same Group MMSI number.

The RAY215 can only transmit ROUTINE Group calls. As with any DSC
operation, the call is made on channel 70.

To make a Group Call:
1. Set up the Group MMSI number as outlined in section 4.5.3.4.

2. Press the INDV key. Ind appears on the 7-segment display, the DSC

indicator is illuminated, and SHIP appears on the dot matrix display.

3. Press the SQ UP/DOWN key to alternate between SHIP, SHORE, and

GROUP. Stop on GROUP. The GROUP message only appears if you
have set up the Group MMSI number as outlined in section 4.5.3.4.
