[. . . ] You can make two types of all-ships calls: · Safety calls are used to broadcast significant navigational or weather-related information. · Urgency calls are used to communicate situations about the safety of a vessel or person when danger is not imminent. Discerning whether a situation warrants a distress call or an urgency call is the responsibility of the captain. To place an all-ships call: 1. Select SAFETY or URGENCY to indicate the reason for your call. The radio transmits the call on Channel 70 and then automatically switches to Channel 16. Placing Position Request Calls Position data received from stations that respond to position request calls is sent over the NMEA network, so that you can track the vessels on your Garmin chartplotter, for example. For more information on NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, see page 29. 1. Select from the following options to select the place from which the MMSI number is retrieved: · MANUAL--a screen is displayed that gives you the ability to enter the MMSI number manually. Select a number and move to the next character. When you have entered the correct MMSI number, select ACCEPT. · DIRECTORY--the directory is displayed. Select an entry. VHF 300 Series Owner's Manual 9 Digital Selective Calling 4. Select ACCEPT when you have entered your MMSI number. The radio transmits the call on Channel 70, and then switches to your current working channel. The screen displays "POS REQUEST WAITING FOR ACKNOWLEDGE". Receiving Calls Receiving Distress Calls and Distress Relay Calls The radio sends data relative to the call over the NMEA network based on how you have MMSI filtering configured. When receiving a distress call or a distress relay call, the screen displays the "DISTRESS" or "DISTR RELAY" and information about the call (for example, the MMSI number and the nature of the distress). Select ] to view additional information. If necessary, select OK to tune to Channel 16. See page 27 for more information on configuring the auto channel-change setting. If you select CANCEL, the radio does not change channels and continues to receive on the current channel. Select OK to return to the Home screen on the new channel. When receiving an all-ships urgency call, "ALL SHIPS" is displayed on the screen. "URGENCY" is shown as the type of call.
