Page 92: Digital Selective Calling (Dsc)
7.1 Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Traditional VHF radio systems require users to listen until someone speaks, and then determine whether the call is for them. DSC ensures that calls are received by alerting or announcing the intended recipient(s) first so they are ready to listen to the subsequent message on the relevant channel. -
Page 93: Distress Calls
Individual (routine) Routine calls are used for contacting other vessels, marinas, or shore stations. Routine calls are made on channel 70 using the dedicated Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number of the station to be contacted, selecting a VHF working channel and sending the call. Both radios automatically switch to the chosen channel for conversation. -
