6.8.13 LRI - Long range interrogation
The long-range interrogation of the AIS is accomplished through the use of two sentences. The pair of
interrogation sentences, a LRI-sentence followed by a LRF-sentence, provides the information needed by an
AIS to determine if it must construct and provide the reply sentences (LRF, LR1, LR2, and LR3).
