DSC OPERATION
A Distress call should include the ship’s position and time.
If no GPS receiver is connected and built-in GPS receiver*
is not receiving valid position data, your position and UTC
(Universal Time Coordinated) time should be manually en-
tered. They are automatically included when a GPS receiver
compatible with the NMEA 0183 (ver. 2.0 or later) format is
connected.
*For only IC-M323G and IC-M324G.
