11.8 POSITION REQUEST
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the Phantom
PS1000. Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Stan-
dard Horizon GPS is connected to the Phantom PS1000, the polled position of
the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to
navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone
wanting to know the position of another vessel. For example your buddy that is
catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its
DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (Refer the section “11.6.1 Setting up the Individual / Posi-
tion Call Directory” to enter information into the individual directory).
11.8.1 Setting up Position Reply
The Phantom PS1000 can be set up to automatically or manually send your
position to another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned
about someone polling the position of your vessel that you may not want to. In
the manual mode you will see the MMSI or persons name shown on the display
allowing you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.
