7.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the HX851 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 Channel 16 and requesting to
go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the two
stations).
7.5.1 SETTING UP THE INDIVIDUAL / POSITION CALL DIRECTORY
The HX851 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person's
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels to whom you wish to
transmit Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
The HX851 can memorize up to 48 stations.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
