Using A Dsc Vhf Radio With Your Display; Enabling Dsc Vhf Radio Integration - Raymarine a67 Wi-Fi Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

11.1 Using a DSC VHF radio with your
display
You can connect your DSC VHF radio to your multifunction
display and show distress message information and GPS
position data for other vessels.
Connecting a DSC VHF radio to your multifunction display
provides the following additional functionality:
• Distress Messages — when your DSC VHF radio receives a
DSC message or alarm from another DSC VHF radio-equipped
vessel, the vessel identification (MMSI), GPS position, and
time of distress message is displayed on your multifunction
display. With the distress message displayed you can use
the buttons provided to: clear the message, place a waypoint
on the chart at the GPS position of the distressed vessel, or
immediately start navigating (GOTO) to the GPS position of
the distressed vessel.
• Position Data — the "Position Request" button on your DSC
VHF radio enables you to send and receive GPS position data
to and from other vessels equipped with a DSC VHF radio.
For information on installing and operating your DSC VHF radio,
refer to the handbook that accompanies the radio.
