INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the
GX2000/GX2100
to contact another vessel with a DSC
VHF radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communi-
cations channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and re-
questing to go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between
the two stations). Up to 80 Individual contacts may be programmed.

of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
