Using DSC Features
Receiving a DSC Call
If your radio receives an individual DSC call from another station, it
sounds an incoming call tone and displays the name/MMSI number of
the station calling you. To respond to the call, select Send: Able-Comply;
the radio sends an acknowledgement and automatically switches to the
designated response channel. To reject the call, select Send: Unable-
Comply; the radio advises the other station that you are unable to
respond to the call.
If the DSC request contains a response channel that you are not allowed
to use, the radio displays Not Support CH; your only response option is
Send: Unable-Comply.
If the radio receives a group or all ships call, it sounds an incoming call
tone and automatically switches to the designated response channel.
Receive Log
Just like your telephone's caller ID list, your radio keeps track of the calls
you receive. The receive log is useful if you have been off your boat or
away from your radio and want to see who has tried to contact you. The
radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 50 non-distress calls
that it received. If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio
displays a Message icon. When you display all Distress and Other
receiving logs, the message icon disappears.
