Individual Call; Setting Up The Individual Call Directory - Standard Horizon HX890 Owner's Manual

10.4 INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the HX890 to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF radio
and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communications chan-
nel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to go to
another channel (switching to the channel is private between the two vessels).
Up to 100 individual contacts may be programmed.

10.4.1 Setting up the Individual Call Directory

The HX890 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person's
name and the associated MMSI number you wish to contact via individual calls,
position report, and test call transmissions.
To transmit an individual call, this directory must be programed with information
of the vessel you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
