DSC OPERATION
■
Position and Time programming
A distress call should include the ship’s position and time. If
no GPS is connected, your position and UTC (Universal Time
Coordinated) time should be input manually. They are in-
cluded automatically when a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver.
2.0 or 3.01) is connected.
This manual programming is not available when a GPS re-
ceiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01) is connected.
