Individual Routine Calls

When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF radio, you can use the
chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine call.
When setting up an individual routine call from your chartplotter, you can
select the DSC channel on which you want to communicate. The radio
transmits this request with your call.

Selecting a DSC Channel

NOTE: The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those channels that are
available in all frequency bands. The default channel is 72. If you select a
different channel, the chartplotter uses that channel for subsequent calls until
