Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
Digital selective calling is a semi-automated system for establishing a radio
call. It has been designed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for VHF, MF, and HF calls and is part of the
Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
DSC will eventually replace aural (listening) watches on distress frequencies
and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information
broadcasts. Until DSC is fully implemented, it is still necessary to maintain a listening
watch on Channel 16.
The DSC system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS
position coordinates (requires a GPS receiver to be connected to the radio)
to the Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission.
DSC also allows mariners to initiate and receive distress, urgent, safety,
routine, position request, position send, and group calls between vessels
equipped with DSC capable radios.

Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)
An MMSI is a nine (9) digit number used on a marine radio capable of using digital
selective calling (DSC). It is used to selectively call other vessels or shore stations and
is similar to a telephone number.
For your CobraMarine® radio to operate in the DSC mode, you must enter your
maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) number. See page 41 for instructions
on how to enter it.
To Obtain An MMSI Number:
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, MMSI numbers are available from the Royal Mail Radio
Licensing Centre either when a radio license is applied for or any time afterward.
International
Users in other countries can obtain an MMSI from their country’s equivalent to
the UK Royal Mail, or their national telecommunications authority or ship registry.
This may involve amending or obtaining a ship station license.
North America
The MMSI Number Is Available In The U.S.A. From Any Of Two (2) Sources:
n U.S. Power Squadron www.usps.org
n BoatU.S.: 1-800-563-1536 – www.boatus.com/mmsi
NOTE
The above references are for recreational vessels only. Commercial vessels
should contact their national telecommunications authority or ship registry.
WARNING
This equipment is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and
safety signal to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety
device, this equipment must be used only within communication range
of a shore-based VHF marine channel to distress and safety watch system.
The range of the signal may vary, but under normal conditions should be
approximately 20 nautical miles.
