Individual Call; Setting Up The Individual / Position Call Directory - Standard Horizon ECLIPSE DSC+ GX1200E Owner's Manual

9.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the GX1200E to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and request-
ing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the
two stations).

9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory

The GX1200E has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or
person's name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to
transmit individual calls, position requests and position report transmissions.
The GX1200E can store up to 48 individual MMSI numbers with vessel's or
person's names.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with the infor-
mation of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones directory.
