3.10 DSC
WARNING
The chart plotter must be interfaced with a DSC VHF radio.
The DSC
(Digital Selective Calling)
is a method of establishing a VHF radio call; it
is used to announce urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. This system
allows mariners to instantly send Distress Call or/and Position Request to the
other vessels equipped with a DSC transceiver within range of the transmission.
The Distress Call, that allows to receive a position of the vessel in distress, and
the Position Request, a great feature for anyone wanting to know the location of
another vessel - for example you buddy that is catching fish, or finding the loca-
tion of a person you are cruising with, are performed by an external device, the
DSC VHF radio. The chart plotter interfaced with a DSC VHF radio prompts the
user to see the GPS position of the vessel in distress and also allows for easy
navigation to the vessel.
The Distress Call and the Position Request icons that are displaying on the screen,
are shown in the following table:
