11.6 INDIVIDUAL CALL
This feature allows the PS1000 to contact another vessel with a DSC VHF
radio and automatically switch the receiving radio to a desired communications
channel. This feature is similar to calling a vessel on CH16 and requesting to
go to another channel (switching to the channel is private between the two
stations).
11.6.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory
The Phantom PS1000 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or
person’s name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to
transmit Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
