Looks like a good time for another plug for ww members to use the DSC functionality on their.
Monitoring your radio it's likely you will miss a call, use the DSC group call to signal 1 to many boats at once.
On your radio:
- From the DSC menu select group call
- pick a channel for all other radios that hear the call to automatically switch to (ex. 78)
- select the Wayneswords group code from the list (you did already enter that right?)
- then select transmit.
Your radio will transmit a DSC group call, any WW member that has also saved that group number, their radio will ring, and switch to Ch78. Never miss a radio call again.
Wayneswords Group MMSI#: 022 222 222
- From DSC/setup menu, select groups
- Add a group Wayneswords with group mmsi of 022 222 222
Your radio will now ring, if any other member sends a group call to that MMSI.
Simple, give it a try!
