Digital Selective Calling (Dsc); Individual - Uniden DSC BK Owner's Manual

DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)

Digital Selective Calling is the latest in Marine Radio technology. DSC is
a process of establishing a radio call and has been chosen by the
International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard
for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. Digital Selective Calling
has also been selected as part of the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS).
This service will let you instantly send a Distress call with GPS position
(when optional GPS receiver is connected to the SOLARA DSC) to the
US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission.
DSC will also let you initiate or receive distress, urgency, safety, position
information and routine calls to or from another vessel outfitted with a
DSC transceiver.
See the directory section for instructions on how to setup the directory of
names.
