POSITION REPORT

The feature is similar to Position Request, however instead of requesting
a position of another vessel this function allows you to send your position
to another vessel. Your vessel must mark the internal GPS receiver for the
GX1700 to send the position.
To transmit a Position Report Call, a GPS must be connected to the
radio and the GX1700 Individual directory must be programmed with
stations you wish to send your position to. To setup this directory re-
fer to section "9.5.1 Individual / Position Call Directory Setup."
