POSITION REQUEST

Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX6000E.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if a compatible GPS
chart plotter is connected to the GX6000E, the polled position of the vessel
is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to
the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to
know the position of another vessel. For example, your buddy that is catching
fish or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to
its DSC radio and must not have its radio set to deny position requests.
(Refer the section "10.4 INDIVIDUAL CALL" to enter information into
the individual directory).
10.6.1 Setting up a Position Request Reply
The GX6000E can be set up to automatically (default setting) or manually send
your position when requested by another vessel. This selection is important if
you are concerned about someone polling the position of your vessel that you
may not want to. In the manual mode you will see the MMSI (Maritime Mobile
Service Identity Number) or persons name shown on the display allowing you
to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.

request is received, the radio will automatically trans-
mit your vessel's position. In "MANUAL" mode, the
display of the GX6000E will show who is requesting
the position and the [YES] soft key on radio has to
be pressed to send your position to the requesting
vessel.
