INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the GX2000/GX2150 to contact another vessel with a DSC
VHF radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communi-
cations channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and re-
questing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between
the two stations). Up to 80 Individual contacts may be programmed.
