Distress Call Sent
The DSC distress message is automatically sent on channel 70 and your transceiver is
automatically set to Channel 16 in order to listen for, and respond to, voice replies
from SAR authorities or other vessels which may have received your distress call.
The alarm will sound every 15 seconds to remind you that a distress message is active.
Unless canceled, the distress message is automatically re-transmitted every 3 1/2 to 4
