5. LOG FILE
The log file stores routine received messages (messages other than Distress), received distress
messages and transmitted messages, each in its own separate log.
5.1 Log File Description
Three memory banks are provided for storage of messages: received ordinary log, received
distress log and transmitted log. Each memory bank stores 50 messages, on a first-in, first-out
basis. This means that a latest message is saved as log no.1 and the log no. of all previous
messages in that memory bank increments by one. When the storage capacity is exceeded the
oldest message is deleted to make room for the latest. An asterisk (*) marks unread or
unacknowledged Rx messages, unacknowledged Tx messages and unread distress messages.
Received distress messages are automatically deleted 48 hours after being read.
