DSC Call List

the first call in the Call List. Press MENU to sort the list and delete
entries.
DSC Log
When DSC calls are received, they are automatically placed in the

calls. When 100 calls are logged, the oldest log is removed when a
new call is received. Press MENU to sort the list and delete entries.

to 50 entries. Pressing MENU from this page displays options to

When a Distress Call, Position Report, or Directory item is named,
