9.8 POSITION REPORT
The feature is similar to the position request, however instead of requesting
a position of another vessel this function allows you to send your position to
another vessel. Your vessel must mark the connected GPS receiver for the
GX1600 and the internal GPS receiver for the GX1700 to send the position.
NOTE
To transmit a position report call, a GPS must be connected to the
radio and the individual directory of the GX1600 and GX1700 must
be programmed with stations you wish to send your position to. To
setup this directory refer to section “9.5.1 Individual / Position Call
Directory Setup.”
