10.3.1 Individual Directory
The GX1300 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or
person’s name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to
transmit individual calls, position requests and position report transmissions.
To transmit an individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone direc-
tory.

for programming.

This menu item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manual-
ly respond to a DSC individual call requesting you to switch to a working
channel for voice communications. When the manual response is selected
the MMSI of the calling vessel is shown allowing you to see who is calling.
This function is similar to caller id on a cellular phone.
