    DSC OVERVIEW 3.1 What is DSC? DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. It is a digital distress and general calling system in the MF and HF bands used by ships for transmitting distress alerts and general calls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowledgements. For DSC distress and safety calling in the MF and HF bands, the frequencies are (kHz) 2187.5, 4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, and 16804.5.
