Making A Test Call (Test) - Uniden UM425 Guide D'utilisation

Using Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Features
Making Test Calls (Test)
You can use the test call feature to make sure your radio is working and
configured correctly. To avoid overloading coastal receiving stations, you
should limit test calls to these stations to once a week.
NOTE: Many coastal stations have specific frequencies and MMSI numbers
you should use for making test calls. Before making a test call to a coastal
station, be sure to check the Local Notice to Mariners (LNM), issued every
