19.3.1 Receiving an All Ships Call
1. When an all ships call is received, an emergency alarm sounds.
2. The radio will automatically change to channel 16, and a
“RECEIVED DSC CALL” popup window will be shown on the
display to see the MMSI of the vessel transmitting the All Ships
Call.
3. Press any key to stop the alarm.
4. Monitor channel 16 or traffic channel until the URGENCY voice
communication is completed.
19.4 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the CPV550 to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF radio and
automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communications channel. This feature
is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to go to another channel (switching
to the channel is private between the two stations).
19.4.0 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The CPV550 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person’s name and
the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit Individual calls, Position
Requests and Position Send transmissions. The CPV550 can store up to 56 MMSI into the
Individual directory.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information of the persons
you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
