Compatibility With Various VHF Radios

The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature in marine radios is
relatively new technology. The U.S. Coast Guard, for example,
implemented its first DSC-capable systems in Atlantic City, N.J. and
Chincoteague, VA in September, 2003. However, the entire U.S. DSC
rescue system won't 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,
