A geographical call can be received only
by vessels within a certain radius of the
transmission, typically 20-30 miles (32-48 kms).
When the radio picks up an incoming
geographic call:
1. The radio beeps to alert you to the incoming
call. Press any key except PTT or <ESC to
stop the beeps now.
At the same time, the LCD screen displays
the BUSY symbol, the type and priority of the
incoming call, and the MMSID of the caller.
If you press <ESC to ignore the call, or do
not respond within three minutes, the radio
returns to its previous status.
If the radio recognises the MMSID as one of
your buddies, it displays the buddy name in
place of the MMSID.
2. You can reply to the incoming call with an
INDIVIDUAL call back. The incoming call is
stored in the call log.
Press >ENT to move to the designated
working channel. If no channel is designated,
CH 16 is automatically selected.
Press PTT to communicate on the designated
working channel.
The details of the incoming call are stored
in the call log. If the call log is full, the oldest
entry is automatically deleted.
