9 Receiving a DSC call

When the user receives a DSC call, the transceiver will automatically respond

according to the type of call.

Information shown on the LCD display will vary according to the type of call. Refer

to the diagram below for several examples:

9.1 Receiving a distress call

When the transceiver receives a distress call, an acoustic alarm will sound. The

pressure to the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.

When the signal also includes position and time data, this information will appear on

the display. If no position and time data are included in the signal, the display will

indicate 99°99 999°99 88:88.

9.2 General call to all ships

When the transceiver receives a general call related to all vessels, it automatically

moves to the communication channel and emits an acoustic emergency alarm. The

pressure of the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.

9.3 Individual call

When the transceiver receives an individual call, it automatically move to the channel

indicated by the DSC signal and emits a tone to alert the user of an incoming call.

The pressure to the function key “STOP” will deactivate the alarm.

The MMSI owner code contained in the signal appears on the display. If the MMSI

owner code has been programmed previously with name in the directory, the name

of the caller appears too.

Every time REGATTA 2 receives a call (distress, individual or general) an entry will

be stored in the list of registered calls “LOG”.
