4.6.18.7 Receiving an All Ships Call
When an All Ships Call is received, an alert is sounded. The LCD displays
the type of All Ships call being received, along with the sender’s MMSI
number, and a prompt to press ENT to accept or CLR to log the call. The
DSC alert and the displayed message continue until either ENT or CLR is
pressed. If ENT is pressed, the radio switches to Channel 16 and the
contents of the communication are stored in the log. If CLR is pressed,
the radio reverts to the mode before receiving the All Ships Call and the
contents are stored in the log.

4.6.18.8 Transmitting a Distress Call
A Distress Call allows you to send out a digital “packet” of data at high
power that includes your position, time, and MMSI number. All ships and
stations outfitted with the correct type of DSC equipment will be able to
pinpoint your position and either relay the information or respond directly.
Using the Distress key overrides all other functions.
Two types of Distress Calls can be made: one that specifies the type of
distress and one that does not.
