Section 3: Advanced Operation

This section will give a more detailed explanation of what your radio
can do. We'll start off with a breakdown of the types of DSC calls the
LVR-850 can transmit and receive. That will be followed by a brief de-
scription of how to place a non-DSC call. If you are comfortable with
your knowledge regarding transmission and reception of calls, skip
ahead to page 20 to see how to set up a MMSI Directory. On page 27,
there is information on the radio's weather function.
