Compatibility with Various VHF Radios

The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature in marine radios is
relatively new technology. The U.S. Coast Guard implemented its first
DSC-capable systems in Atlantic City, N.J. and Chincoteague, VA in
September, 2003. The entire U.S. DSC rescue system will not be
operational until Sept. 30, 2006.

As more marine electronics manufacturers enter this growing market, other
connectivity issues with your unit may appear. You can check for known
compatibility issues by visiting our web site,

in the Manuals section for updated documents for your sonar/GPS unit.
