3.3.17.2 Individual Ship's Call
An Individual Ship's Call is a DSC call made to a specific ship identified
by its MMSI number. There are three types: ROUTINE for normal calls,
SAFETY for advisory alerts, and URGENCY for assistance when life is
not in immediate danger.
The RAY215 can receive all three types of Individual calls but can only
transmit ROUTINE Individual calls. As with any DSC operation, the call
is made on channel 70.
