1. DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)
Digital Selective Calling is a process of establishing a radio call, it has
been chosen by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an
international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls.
Digital Selective Calling has also been selected as part of the Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
This service will let you instantly send a Distress call with GPS position
(when optional GPS receiver is connected to the POLARIS) to the US
Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission.
DSC will also let you initiate or receive distress, urgency, safety, position
information and routine calls to or from another vessel outfitted with a
DSC transceiver.
