4.6.18.6 Transmitting an All Ships Call

The All Ships Call is used to send out a message to all ships in range that
you need assistance but the situation is not serious enough for a Distress
Call. This call should only be used if hailing for assistance on 16 fails.
The RAY215E can transmit and receive all three types of All Ships Calls:
ROUTINE, SAFETY, and URGENCY. The RAY215E can transmit only
SAFETY and URGENCY. As with any DSC operation, the call is made
on channel 70. Then, after the All Ships Call is sent or received, the radio
automatically selects channel 16.

To send an All Ships Call
1. Press the ALL SHIP key. The message SAFETY appears on the dot

matrix display and the DSC indicator illuminates.

2. Press the SQ UP/DOWN key. The message URGENCY now appears

on the dot matrix display.

3. Make your selection between SAFETY or URGENCY and press the

ENT key to submit. The prompt RECONFIRM is displayed.

4. Press the ENT key to confirm. A prompt appears on the display,

instructing you to press the PTT key.

5. Press PTT to transmit.

The All Ships Call is made on Channel 70. After the All Ships Call is sent,
the radio automatically switches to channel 16.
