4.3.8 Distress relay call
The distress relay facility enables an incoming Distress Alert
call to be passed onwards via boats within receiving distance of
the call, thus increasing the potential range of the Distress Alert
call.
When a distress relay call is received, the radio will sound an
incoming call alarm.
The display will flash between “DISTRESS RELAY” and the
vessel’s MMSI (Fig 4.18). If the vessel’s MMSI is stored in the
MMSI directory (see section 5.2), the display will show the
name stored instead of the MMSI number.
