Distress acknowledgement for another vessel?

If a distress acknowledgement is received for another vessel that is in distress, the

radio displays a suitable message and sounds an audible alarm. Your action

should be, either:

• Press MENU, and accept the call. The radio automatically re-tunes to

Channel 16 and monitors it.

• Press LAST/WX (LAST/PRIV), and reject the call. The alarm is cancelled

and the call is logged.

When your radio receives a distress relay call, it displays a suitable message and

sounds an audible alarm. Your action should be, either:

• Press MENU, to accept the call. The alarm is cancelled and the radio auto-

matically re-tunes to Channel 16.

• Press LAST/WX (LAST/PRIV), to reject the call. The alarm is cancelled

and the call is logged.

Whilst the radio is in Dual or Tri-Watch modes, and a National Oceanographic and

Atmospheric Association (NOAA) weather channel has been selected, when a

weather alert is received the radio will sound an audible alarm and automatically

switch to the monitored weather channel so that the emergency broadcast can be

heard.

In addition to those already described in this chapter, the Ray240 has further

functions that can be accessed from the Main menus.

This section gives a brief description of these functions and what they do.
