8.5 Receiving DSC Calls
Your
MT-700
can receive four types of DSC calls; Distress, All Ship’s, Individual, and
Group. Except for Distress, each call type is subdivided into one or more priorities.
All Ship’s type receives the following priorities: Distress ACK, Distress Relay,
Urgency, and Safety.
Individual type receives the following priorities: Safety and Routine.
Group type receives one priority: Routine.
Also
MT-700
can receive the calls of advanced Individual Routine priority; Position
Send, and Position Request. Lat/Lon position from another vessel can be transferred
to the DSC equipped chart plotter, if it is connected.
When your
MT-700
receives a DSC call from another vessel or a coast station, an alert
sounds and a Call Received screen appears in the display. The Call Received screen
identifies the time of a call, the caller, the type and the priority of a call. Also, a
number appears in the screen indicating the number of calls in the log. The call log
holds thirty two entries.
