range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be ap-
proximately 20 nautical miles.

Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio
call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It has
also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Sys-
tem (GMDSS).
Digital Selective Calling allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS
position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other ves-
sels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or re-
ceive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, Position Request, Position Report, Auto-
matic Position Polling and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a
DSC transceiver.
