Position Request and Reply

Enabling Automatic Position Reply
If you want the radio to automatically transmit your current position
whenever it receives a position request, you can enable automatic
position reply. Most boaters activate automatic position reply for
safety reasons or because they subscribe to a marine towing service.
Sometimes—for example, in some competitive situations--you may
not want other stations to get your position without your manual
confirmation.
1. Press and hold MENU/CALL to display the Call menu.
2. Select DSC Setup and then Position Reply.
3. Choose Auto and press DISP/ENT/H/M/L. The radio will automatically
transmit your position when it receives a position request.
4. To disable automatic position reply, repeat the steps above and select

Any time you need to know where another boat currently is—to find your
