is left unattended. The Call List only shows the most recent call from
a vessel. If a second call is received, it replaces the first call in the Call
List. Press MENU to sort the list and delete entries.

DSC Log
When DSC calls are received, they are automatically stored in the
Log, with the most recent call at the top. The unit can store up to
100 calls; after 100 calls are received, the oldest log file is removed
when a new call is received.
