Using DSC Position Request Call

DSC position request call lets you request the position of another vessel, then saves
that position. The radio automatically sets itself to high power when it sends a DSC
position request call.
1. Rotate PUSH/SELECT to select POS.REQUEST, then press PUSH/SELECT to
select it. A screen showing the stations saved in the radio's directory appears.
2. Follow one of these steps to select the station where you want to send a position
request call.

the station is highlighted, then press PUSH/SELECT to select it.

highlighted, then press PUSH/SELECT to select it.
A screen appears you can use to enter the user MMSI. After you enter the user
MMSI, press PUSH/SELECT. A screen appears where you can confirm or
cancel sending a position request.

SEND, then press PUSH/SELECT to select it. The radio transmits the position
request call.
Otherwise, to cancel the transmission, rotate PUSH/SELECT to select
CANCEL, then press PUSH/SELECT to select it.

reply is set to AUTO, the following screen appears.
