7.8.3 Position Send
The feature is similar to Position Request, however instead of requesting a
position of another vessel this function allows you to send your position to an-
other vessel. Your vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected for
the QUANTUM to send the position.
NOTE
To transmit a Position Send Call, you must setup the QUANTUM DSC
Individual / Position Call Directory with the name of the vessel(s) or per-
son and the MMSI of the DSC radio you wish to send your position to. To
setup this directory refer to section 7.7.1 Setting up the Individual / Posi-
tion Call Directory.
