USING DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC) FEATURES
What is DSC?
DigitalSelectiveCalling(DSC)isastandardthatallowsyoutocallotherstationsusingtheir
uniqueidenticationcode(theMaritimeMobileServiceIdentityorMMSInumber),justlike
you would call a phone number. To call another station, just enter that station’s MMSI number
and choose the voice channel you want to talk on. The radio uses channel 70 to transmit your
MMSI number to the other station along with the voice channel you requested. If the other
station accepts your call, both radios automatically switch to the requested voice channel so
you can talk to the other station.
DSCprovidesasystemforautomateddistresscalls.Atthetouchofabutton,theradiocan
transmit your MMSI number, the nature of your distress, and your current position based on
data from your GPS receiver. The radio repeats the distress call every few minutes until it
receives an acknowledgement.
TheDSCstandarddedicates aVHF channel-channel 70- todigitaltransmissionsonly.
Since digital transmissions require less bandwidth voice transmissions, channel 70 avoids
the problems of busy voice channels.
