Individual Call; Setting Up The Individual / Position Call Directory - Standard Horizon MATRIX GX3000S Owner's Manual

11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL

This feature allows the GX3000S to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and request-
ing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the
two stations).

11.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory

The GX3000S has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person's
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit
Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
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.
