Position requests
The radio can send position requests to any vessel equipped with DSC capability. This allows you to request the precise location of another vessel, which can be useful for navigation or coordinating with nearby vessels that are not equipped with AIS transceivers. If the request is acknowledged, the position data will be displayed on your system and all connected displays.
Below shows you an easy step by step guide on how to make a position request.
The radio can also reply to position requests from other vessels with DSC capability. To learn how to automatically respond to such requests, click here.
