Receiving Position Requests

You can configure the radio to reply automatically to incoming position requests, or prompt you to review and approve the incoming requests before replying (Sending Automatic Replies).

When you receive a position request with automatic position replies enabled, SENDING ACKNOWLEDGE appears on the screen, and the radio sends your position automatically. After the position successfully transmits, POSITION SENT appears on the screen.

When you receive a position request with automatic position replies disabled, POS. REQUEST appears on the screen.

When you receive a position request with automatic position replies disabled, select OK, and select an option:
  • To reply to the position request with your current position, select OK.

    If GPS-position or manual-position data is available, the radio transmits your position to the other vessel.

  • To ignore the position request, press CLEAR.
