Another way to input a name is from the Entry Review Page or the DSC Distress Call or DSC Position
Report Pages. The Name field is only available in the GPS. Names cannot be sent like the MMSI numbers
to other DSC users.
DSC Setup
Garmin chartplotters have the ability to turn DSC ‘On’ or ‘Off’. This option is beneficial for users who
have more than one GPS chartplotter. If you want only DSC to display on a particular chartplotter, turn
DSC off on the remaining Garmin chartplotters that support DSC.
