Operations
Note: An MMSI number is required to operate the Digital Selective Calling
(DSC) equipment in this radio. You can program the MMSI number
yourself one time only using the Menu Operation described in section
3.5.30.4.2. Otherwise, your Raymarine dealer can program or change
the number for you.
3.5.26.1 Individual Call to Another Ship (Ship-to-Ship)
An Individual Ship's Call is a DSC call made to a specific ship identified by
its MMSI number. There are three types: ROUTINE for normal calls,
SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is not
in immediate danger.
The RAY230/230E can receive all three types of Individual calls but can
only transmit ROUTINE Individual calls. As with any DSC operation, the
call is made on channel 70.
Transmitting an Individual Call
To call another ship, you must select the Working Channel and a specific
MMSI number. The MMSI number is selected either manually or from a
Phonebook list of preprogrammed numbers specified using the MENU
function described in section 3.5.30.3.3. To cancel the call, press and hold
the CLR key for 3 seconds.
Press the INDV key to initiate the call data setup operation. After setting
the call data, press the PTT switch to send the call. The following describes
