What’s Track-Your-Buddy?
This special function is for safety, teamwork,
convenience, and even just for fun.
It’s a great feature that allows you to
connect your VHF DSC position polling with
chartplotter to show the location of up to
three boating friends on the chart display.
It’s also easy to set up: You need a
Lowrance LVR-880 fixed mount (or LHR-80
handheld) VHF, the MMSI number of your
buddies’ VHF DSC radios and a Lowrance
HDS GPS chartplotter. Your VHF will
regularly poll your buddies’ positions and the
chartplotter will regularly update their
locations by MMSI number on your screen.
Track-Your-Buddy is a truly great aid in
locational awareness of your friends in a
group boating excursion.
What’s DSC?
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) provides for
instant distress calls and digital messaging,
and is a component of the international Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
When connected with a GPS, the time, precise
location and unique ID of the vessel in trouble
is automatically broadcast when the DISTRESS
button is pressed. So simple, it allows even a
non-experienced VHF user to send this
continuous distress message with a one-button
procedure.
With DSC you can privately hail another
DSC-equipped vessel, or shore station, with a
known MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
number. It will also “ring” and notify you that you
have a private hail, and automatically switch you
to the open channel your caller is waiting on.
You can also send and receive messages
digitally with DSC -- between one selected
vessel, a group of vessels or ship-to-shore – by
dialing-in the MMSI number(s).
