3.5.26.8 Receiving a Distress Call
When a Distress call is received, the DSC indicator flashes, the message
DSr is placed on the 7-segment display, and the DSC Distress alert is
sounded. On the dot matrix display are scrolled RECEIVED, DISTRESS,
the type of distress, the MMSI number, the transmitting time, the latitude,
and longitude of the transmitting station.
The DSC Distress Alert and the displayed message continue until either
ENT or CLR is pressed. When ENT or CLR is pressed, the radio switches
to channel 16 in 25 W mode and the contents of the communication are
stored in memory.
Five seconds after receiving the Distress Call, operation switches to Channel
16. Pressing the CLR key turns off the alert and clears the dot matrix display.
The received contents are stored in the Log File.
