11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the GX1000S to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communica-
tions channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and request-
ing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the
two stations).
NOTE
The GX1000S can store up to 15 individual stations.
11.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The GX1000S has a DSC directory that allows you to store up to 15 of vessel’s
or person’s name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to
transmit Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phone telephone directory.
