CALL PROCEDURE
Test call
Testing on the exclusive DSC distress and safety call-
ing frequencies (such as 2187.5 kHz) should be
avoided as much as possible by using other methods.
When testing on the distress/safety frequency is un-
avoidable, it should be indicated that these are test
transmissions.
Normally the test call would require no further commu-
nications between the two stations involved.
q
Push [MODE
SET
] to select the DSC menu.
w
Rotate [CH] to select
Test
call, then push
[ENT].
e
Select the desired coast station code, then push
[ENT].
Use [CH] to select the coast station code when pre-pro-
grammed.
When
Manual set
is selected, enter the desired
code (last 7 digits only) via keypad.
- The first 2 digits
00 (double zero)
are fixed for the
coast station code.
r
Select the desired call frequency, then push [ENT].
Use [CH] to select one of the desired distress/safety
frequencies.
When
Manual set
is selected, enter the desired
transmit and receive frequencies via the keypad.
t
The calling stand-by screen is displayed as fol-
lows, verify the calling condition then push and
hold [CANCEL/CALL] for 1 sec. to transmit the test
call.
y
After sending a call, the transceiver waits for an ac-
knowledgement.
u
When receiving an acknowledgement, the display
shows the received ID code, or ID name, if pro-
grammed.
