Distress Calls
When you make a distress call, your call is transmitted to all DSC-capable radios within receiving range. Your current GPS position (latitude and longitude) and the current time are included in the transmission if you have a GPS device connected to your transceiver. If you manually entered your position information with the time, that data is transmitted with the call.
NOTE:
You should familiarize yourself with the standard distress-call format and protocol to ensure your calls are clear and effective.
