MAKING DSC CALLS

There are essentially four different types of DSC voice calls:
Call type What it does
Distress Alerts all ships that you need
assistance and sends them your
current position.
Individual Calls a single station using the User
MMSI.
Group Calls all the ships that have the same
Group MMSI as yours.
All Ships Calls all ships within range of your
radio.
Suppose you are coordinating safety for a sailboat race. Before the race starts, you instruct
all the racers to enter your group MMSI number into their radios. During the race:
Throughout the race, you use group calling to update the racers on the time, race
x
status, and any course corrections.
A power boat full of spectators comes too close to the race path. You use individual
x
calling to contact the power boat and advise them to stay clear of the race.
You see a rowboat entering the area, but since it doesn't have a radio, you can't
x
communicate with the rowboat. You use all ships calling to alert all the other ships in
the area of the possible danger
