GX1600/GX1700
9.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the GX1600 and GX1700 to contact another vessel with
a DSC VHF radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired
communications channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16
and requesting to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private
between the two stations). Up to 80 Individual contacts may be programmed.
9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The GX1600 and GX1700 have a DSC directory that allows you to store a
vessel’s or person’s name and the MMSI number associated with vessels
you wish to transmit individual calls, auto polling calls, position requests, and
position reports.
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 direc-
tory.
