changes to Channel 16, and output power changes to 5W.

4. The Distress call is transmitted and there is a delay of about 210 -
270 seconds. This is continued internally. After the Distress call
has been sent, the Distress alert will sound every other second,
and it also "shadow-watches" for a transmission between CH16
and CH70 until an acknowledgment signal is received from the
Coast Guard shore station.
5. When the radio receives an
Acknowledgement, a DSC Routine tone
sounds. And a Message Screen is
displayed indicating the
Acknowledgement and the replying
radio's MMSI.
