Enabling Automatic Position Reply
If you want the radio to automatically transmit your current position whenever it receives
a position request, you can enable automatic position reply. Most boaters activate
automatic position reply for safety reasons or because they subscribe to a marine
towing service. Sometimes—for example, in some competitive situations--you may not
want other stations to get your position without your manual confirmation
1. Press and hold MENU/CALL to display the Call menu.
2. Select DSC Setup and then POS Reply.
3. Choose Auto and press
ENTER-H/M/L . The radio will automatically transmit your
position when it receives a position request.
4. To disable automatic position reply, repeat the steps above and select Manual.
POS Request
Any time you need to know where another boat currently is—to find your boating
partners, to respond to a request for assistance, etc.—you can send a position request
to their radio:
1. Press and hold MENU/CALL to display the Call menu.
2. Select POS Request and press ENTER-H/M/L.
3. The radio displays the names listed in your directory; use CHANNEL UP and
CHANNEL DOWN to choose the directory entry you want to contact and press
ENTER-H/M/L . If you want to contact a station that is not in your directory, select
Manual. The radio prompts you to enter the MMSI number you want to call. Enter
the MMSI number the same way you enter directory entries (see page 22). Enter
all nine digits and press ENTER-H/M/L .
