Individual Routine Calls
When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF radio over
the NMEA 2000 or the NMEA 0183 network, 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
18
uses that channel for subsequent calls until you call using
another channel.
