Receiving Individual Routine Calls
When you receive an individual routine call, INDIVIDUAL appears on the screen, and ROUTINE appears as the
type of call. If the channel request is for an invalid channel, INVALID CH REQUEST appears on the screen.
NOTE: When an individual call is received, the radio switches to the requested channel automatically after ten
seconds.
When a call is received on a valid channel, select an option:
• To accept the call and switch to the requested channel, select OK.
• To review information about the call without switching to the requested channel automatically, select
PAUSE.
• To ignore the call and stay on the current channel, press CLEAR.
Receiving Position Requests
You can configure the radio to reply automatically to incoming position requests, or prompt you to review and
approve the incoming requests before replying (
Sending Automatic Replies, page 20
).
When you receive a position request with automatic position replies enabled, SENDING ACKNOWLEDGE
appears on the screen, and the radio sends your position automatically. After the position successfully
transmits, POSITION SENT appears on the screen.
When you receive a position request with automatic position replies disabled, POS. REQUEST appears on the
screen.
When you receive a position request with automatic position replies disabled, select OK, and select an
option:
• To reply to the position request with your current position, select OK.
If GPS-position or manual-position data is available, the radio transmits your position to the other vessel.
• To ignore the position request, press CLEAR.
Receiving Position Calls
When you receive a position call, POS. SEND and the position data appear on the screen.
Select OK.
The radio saves the position report in the call log.
Receiving Group Calls
When you receive a group call, GROUP appears on the screen, and the radio prompts you to change to the
requested channel. If the channel requested is invalid, INVALID CH REQUEST appears on the screen.
1 Select OK.
2 Turn the SELECT dial to select the requested channel.
3 Select OK.
Position Tracking
When you enable position tracking, the radio uses interval-based position requests to track up to three vessels.
Your radio transmits received position data over the NMEA network, and you can track the vessels using your
Garmin chartplotter (
Configuring DSC NMEA Transmissions, page 23
).
