Position Send; Transmitting A Dsc Position Send Ringer; Transmitting A Dsc Position Send Call - Standard Horizon Quantum GX5000S Owner's Manual

11.9 POSITION SEND

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 have an operating GPS receiver connected
for the GX5000S to send the position.
To transmit a Position Send Call, you must setup the GX5000S DSC
Individual / Position Call Directory with the name of the vessel(s) or
person and the MMSI of the DSC radio you wish to send your position
to. To setup this directory refer to section "11.5.1 Setting up the Indi-
vidual / Position Call Directory."
