9 Receiving a DSC call
When the user receives a DSC call, the transceiver will automatically respond
according to the type of call.
Information shown on the LCD display will vary according to the type of call. Refer
to the diagram below for several examples:
9.1 Receiving a distress call
When the transceiver receives a distress call, an acoustic alarm will sound. The
pressure to the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.
When the signal also includes position and time data, this information will appear on
the display. If no position and time data are included in the signal, the display will
indicate 99°99 999°99 88:88.
9.2 General call to all ships
When the transceiver receives a general call related to all vessels, it automatically
moves to the communication channel and emits an acoustic emergency alarm. The
pressure of the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.
9.3 Individual call
When the transceiver receives an individual call, it automatically move to the channel
indicated by the DSC signal and emits a tone to alert the user of an incoming call.
The pressure to the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.
The MMSI owner code contained in the signal appears on the display. If the MMSI
owner code has been programmed previously with name in the directory, the name
of the caller appears too.
Every time REGATTA 2 receives a call (distress, individual or general) an entry will
be stored in the list of registered calls “LOG”.
