14.1 DSC VHF radio integration
You can connect your DSC VHF radio to your
multifunction display and show distress message
information and GPS position data for other vessels.
Connecting a DSC VHF radio to your multifunction
display provides the following additional functionality:
• Distress Messages — when your DSC VHF radio
receives a DSC message or alarm from another
DSC VHF radio, the vessel identification (MMSI),
GPS position, and time of distress message is
displayed on your multifunction display. With
the distress message displayed you can use the
buttons provided to: clear the message, place a
waypoint on the chart at the GPS position of the
distressed vessel, or immediately start navigating
(Goto Vessel) to the GPS position of the distressed
vessel.
• Position Data — the “Position Request” button
on your DSC VHF radio enables you to send
and receive GPS position data to and from other
vessels equipped with a DSC VHF radio.
For information on installing and operating your DSC
VHF radio, refer to the handbook that accompanies
the radio.
