Sending An Individual Call - Standard Horizon INTREPID + GX1270S Owner's Manual

6.3 SENDING AN INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the user to contact another user vessel DSC and to
automatically switch the receiving DSC radio to a desired working channel. This
feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to go to a another
channel. To send an individual call, see section 7.5 INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORY
SETUP. The individual call function allows you to transmit a DSC signal to a
specific party only, prompting communication on a voice channel.
