• ITU distress/safety channel: Allows you to type in a channel
number to use for distress or safety communication. If the entered
channel is not a distress or safety channel, the display shows a warning.
• There are 6 dedicated distress frequencies for simplex FEC telex
distress: 2174.5 kHz (Channel 1), 4177.5 kHz (Channel 411),
6268 kHz (Channel 611), 8376.5 kHz (Channel 801), 12520 kHz
(Channel 1287) and 16695 kHz (Channel 1624).
When selecting a channel number the corresponding frequency is
automatically displayed.
Select the recipient for the call
Broadcast FECs are broadcast to all stations listening on the selected
frequency, so you cannot specify recipients for broadcast calls.
For ARQ or Selective FEC you must specify the recipient for your telex.
• If the recipient is in the Con
tacts list, simply select the recipient from
the list.
• If the recipient is in the Co
ast stations list, select the recipient and
then select the frequency to use.
• If the recipient is not in any of the lists, type in the recipient’s number in
the Call code field. You can use either a 9-digit MMSI number or a 4-
digit or 5-digit selective calling number.
Coast stations have either a 9-digit MMSI number starting with 00 or a 4-
digit selective call (SelCall) number.
Ship contacts have either a 9-digit MMSI number or a 5-digit SelCall
number.
