The Distress Log contains the Distress Log data for the 20 most recent received Distress Calls,
so that you can call any of them quickly. Always try to make voice contact on CH16 first, as
follows:
1.
Select DSC CALL then DIST LOG.
2. The most recently received Distress Call is the first entry (01) in the Distress Log. Select
the entry that you want to call and press ENT.

automatically lists all Inter-ship (Simplex) channels that can be used. Duplex channels
cannot usually be called, however, If you wish to use a Duplex channel, select MANUAL
instead, then select your channel of choice. If the call is to a Coast Station (MMSI begins
with 00) the radio will recognize this and specify the correct channel to talk on.

LCD while the call is being sent.
