Receiving a Position Request From Another Station
If you receive a position request from another station, how the Ray49E responds
depends on the option you have set in the Position Reply menu item (see page
90). OFF will not send position data under any circumstances. AUTO sends out
your vessel’s position data as soon as it is requested. MANUAL sends out the data
only after you respond to the request.
The 2 alternating pages of data are recorded in the Posit’n Log. The envelope icon
(
)
blinks until automatically accepted or you manually accept the call, reject
the call, or open the resulting unread message stored in the Log. See page
“Received Calls (Logs)“ on page 84.
When a Manual Position Reply is received, the requesting station’s MMSI number
or station name (if entered in the Phonebook) is displayed. Press
CH/OK
to accept
the request to send your position data. Decline the request by pressing the
CLEAR
key.
