6.6 GPS/Time Setup
By default, the Ray54 auto-detects NMEA strings and decodes appropriate
latitude/longitude position and time. If the GPS navigation receiver is not
connected on or is not functional, a manual latitude/longitude position and
UTC time can be entered and used in the DSC distress transmitted message.
When valid Lat/Lon information is detected, the GPS icon is displayed on the
LCD. When there is no valid position information, NO GPS appears.
When GPS Information Not Available
If no GPS data is available, the NO GPS icon appears, POS DATA REQ is
displayed on the dot matrix display, followed by NO POS DATA. An alarm
sounds for 5 seconds or until you acknowledge by pressing any key.

Automatic Channel Changing of DSC Calls
DSC calls have encoded within them the working channel on which the
caller wishes to converse once the call is received. This option determines
whether you want your radio automatically switched to the indicated channel
or instead to be prompted to receive or decline the incoming DSC call.
This feature is useful for preventing your radio from automatically switching
channels while you are, for example, maintaining a continous watch on a
certain channel (say, in a VTS controlled area) or working with other vessels
(say, for towage).
By regulation, this feature cannot disable the automatic switching of
Individual Distress and Individual Urgency Alerts.
➤ To enable/disable Channel Change:

Boaters should normally use channels listed as Non-Commercial.
Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular voice communications.
Channels 75 and 76 are reserved as guard bands for Channel 16 and are not available
for regular voice communications.
Notes:
1. The letter “A” following a channel number indicates simplex use of the ship station
transmit side of an international duplex channel. Operations are different from that
of international operations on that channel.
2. Channel 13 should be used to contact a ship when there is danger of collision. All
ships of length 20 meters or greater are required to guard VHF channel 13, in addition to VHF channel 16, when operating within U.S. territorial waters.
3. Channel 16 is used to hail other stations or for distress alerting.

side of an international duplex channel. Operations are different from that of international
operations on that channel.
2. Channel 16 is used for calling other stations or for distress alerting.
3. The letter “B” following a channel number indicates simplex use of the coast station transmit
side of an international duplex channel. That is, the channel is Receive Only.
4. Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for
regular voice communications.
5. Channels 75 and 76 are reserved as guard bands for Channel 16 and are not available for regular voice communications.

Intership channels are for communications between ship stations. Intership communications should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not available,
the other channels marked for Intership may be used.
Channels 10, 67 and 73 should be avoided within VHF range of coastal areas in
Europe and Canada.
Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular voice communications.
Notes:
1. Channel 06 may also be used for communications between ship stations and aircraft
engaged in coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations should avoid
harmful interference to such communications on channel 06 as well as to communications between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.
2. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location) are also used for the broadcast of Marine
Safety Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency in the UK only.
3. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications.
4. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the
effective radiated power does not exceed 1 Watt.
5. The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communication only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to
channel 16. Transmit power is limited to 1 Watt.
