What’s DSC?
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) provides for
instant distress calls and digital messaging,
and is a component of the international Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
When connected with a GPS, the time, precise
location and unique ID of the vessel in trouble
is automatically broadcast when the DISTRESS
button is pressed. So simple, it allows even a
non-experienced VHF user to send this
continuous distress message with a one-button
procedure.
With DSC you can privately hail another
DSC-equipped vessel, or shore station, with a
known MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
number. It will also “ring” and notify you that you
have a private hail, and automatically switch you
to the open channel your caller is waiting on.
You can also send and receive messages
digitally with DSC -- between one selected
vessel, a group of vessels or ship-to-shore – by
dialing-in the MMSI number(s).
It’s also the position polling feature of DSC that
allows you to keep chartplotter track of your
friends’ locations who have VHF DSC with the
unique Lowrance Track-Your-Buddy feature.
