who has tried to contact you. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 50
non-distress calls that it received. If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays
a Message icon. When you display all Distress and Other receiving logs, the message icon
disappears. ress and hold MENU/CALL to display the
