How to make DSC calls from the Plot screen
The X100 has the unique functionality of being able to make a DSC call to any target vessel that appears on the AIS Plot screen.
The X100 brings AIS and DSC together to make communication easy. You can send a DSC message from the AIS PLOT screen directly to the selected target.
Below shows an easy step by step guide on how to do this.
You can also make a quick DSC call. Quick DSC calls make a call to the target vessel without asking you to select a working channel to call on.
To make a Quick Call:
- Start by selecting a vessel to call.
- Press and hold the DSC softkey for 3 seconds.
- Confirm the call and wait for a reply. Once a reply is received and the call begins, use the fist mic to communicate.
