9.3.8 Distress Relay call

The Distress Relay facility enables an incoming Distress Alert

call to be forwarded via boats within receiving distance of the

call, thus increasing the potential range of the Distress Alert

call. If a Distress Relay call is received, the radio will sound an

incoming call alarm.

The display will ﬂash between “DISTRESS RELAY” and the

vessel’s MMSI number (Fig 9.18). If the vessel’s MMSI number

is stored in the MMSI directory (see section 10.2), the display

will show the name stored instead.
