1.1 Introduction
The DSC1400 is a Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Controller designed for use with the
Axis RT1400 VHF radio. With a DSC1400 the RT1400 will support the latest GMDSS requirements
for non-SOLAS vessels from the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). It will enable you to
make digitally selected calls, which are quicker and simpler to make than traditional voice calls
using Channel 16. Should a distress situation occur, with the DSC1400 you can quickly raise an
alert, indicating your identity, your position and automatically establish distress communication
on the emergency voice channel.
