DSC Tab

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) uses marine VHF radio and Global

Positioning System (GPS) technologies to transmit and receive

location information. DSC is used by mariners to assist them in two

major areas: Distress Calls and Position Reporting. See page 22

and the “Appendix” for more information on DSC and using it with

your GPSMAP 182/182C.
