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 directory.
Refer to section “10.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory”
for details.
14.2 INDIVIDUAL REPLY
This menu item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manually
respond to a DSC Individual call requesting you to switch to a working channel
for voice communications. When “MANUAL” is selected the MMSI of the calling
