Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
The Ray49 includes equipment for Class “D” Digital Selective Calling (DSC). DSC
protocol is a globally applied system used to send and receive digital calls. DSC
uses a unique Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number to direct DSC calls
directly to your radio, much like a telephone number.
Note: An MMSI number is required to operate the DSC equipment in this radio. You can
obtain an MMSI from BoatUS (www.boatus.com). Once obtained, you can program the
MMSI number yourself one time only using the operation described in “My MMSI ID“ on
page 81. Otherwise, your Raymarine dealer can program or change the number for you.
The Ray49 includes a separate dedicated receiver just for DSC communications on
channel 70. When a DSC call is received, the radio automatically responds based
on the type of call. When receiving a DSC call from another vessel or a coast
station, an alert sounds and DSC data appears in the LCD–such as time of a call,
the caller and the type and priority of a call.
5.1 DSC Call Menu

The Ray49 can make the following type of DSC calls:
DSC Call
Type
Description
DISTRESS
Sends out your MMSI number, the nature of your Distress, and the
position and time information currently displayed. This information is
from NMEA data, if available, or the position data you have entered
manually. This digital information lets other ships and shore stations
equipped with appropriate DSC equipment know where you are and
that you are in a Distress situation. Distress Calls are made using the
DISTRESS key.
INDIVIDUAL
Makes a ROUTINE DSC call to a specific station identified by its MMSI
number.
58
Ray49 Marine VHF Radio
DSC Call
Type
Description
GROUP
Sends transmissions that are only received by radios sharing a common Group MMSI number. Up to 3 Group MMSI numbers can be
stored and called.
ALL SHIPS
Sends out a message to all stations within range that you have important information but the situation is not serious enough for a Distress
Call. All Ships calls should only be used if hailing for assistance on
channel 16 fails. There are two types of All Ships Calls: SAFETY for
advisory alerts and URGENCY for assistance when life is not in immediate danger.
POSITION
REQUEST
This option enables you to request GPS position information from any
vessel for which an MMSI number is known. You can specify the target
vessel either by selecting it from your MMSI phonebook or by manually entering its MMSI number. You can also be requested to send out
your position to someone else.
RECEIVED
CALLS
Three separate logs listing all received DSC Call types by number and
time of call. Entries are separated into the following: Distress Log, Call
Log for all other types of DSC Calls, and Position Log.
NOTE: You can place a call directly from a log to the station that is currently displayed. You can also add the displayed station to the DSC
Phonebook.
Making DSC Menu and Programming Selections
D10023-1
There are two ways to make DSC menu and character selections in your radio:
1. Most examples in this chapter describe making selections using the CH/OK
knob on the transceiver.
2. However, you can also press the microphone up/down keys to make your
selections and then press the microphone HI/LO key to accept.
Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC)

5.2 Distress Calls
For a Distress Call transmission, the Ray49 takes the position and time
information (either from NMEA or manually input) along with your MMSI and
converts it into a digital “packet”. When transmitted, this digital information lets
other ships and shore stations equipped with appropriate DSC equipment know
where you are and that you are in a Distress situation.
Your call can specify the nature of the Distress (designated call) or not
(undesignated call).
Sending a Distress Call

Ray49 Marine VHF Radio
Receiving a Distress Call
The Ray49 receives distress messages sent by another vessel and/or
acknowledgments (ACK) sent by a coast station to another vessel in distress. The
radio also receives distress relays.
Note: Class “D” DSC radios such as the Ray49 are forbidden by law from automatically
acknowledging or relaying DSC distress calls. Upon receiving a distress call, you may hail
the vessel in distress on channel 16 and standby to lend assistance if requested.
When a Distress Call is received, the Ray49 automatically tunes to channel 16 and
sounds the Distress Alarm Tone. (If you have disabled automatic channel
changing, as described on page 84, you are first prompted whether to accept the
call.)
Two alternating screens appear in the display. When position data and time is
included within the signal, it is displayed on the first screen in the text area of the
LCD. The second screen shows the nature of the distress and time it was sent.
The 2 alternating pages of data are recorded in the Distress Log. The envelope
icon ( ) blinks until you accept the call, reject the call, or open the resulting
unread message stored in the Log. See page “Received Calls (Logs)“ on page 79.
To merely mute the alert tone:
Press CLR/WX.
To ignore the Distress Call:
Press CLR/WX a second time. The envelope icon disappears, the call is
interrupted, the radio declines the channel change and returns to normal
operation.
To accept a Distress Call when Auto Channel Change is OFF
1. Press the CH/OK knob. The alert tone is muted, the envelope icon disappears
and the radio accepts the channel change and switches to channel 16.
2. Press CH/OK again to clear the message that the channel has been changed.
Press PTT to communicate on channel 16.
To accept a Distress Call when Auto Channel Change is ON
Press CH/OK. The alert tone is muted, the envelope icon disappears and the radio
automatically switches to channel 16. Press PTT to communicate.

5.4 Individual Calls
The Ray49 can make Individual Routine calls.
Making DSC Calls to Coast Stations
The examples in this handbook illustrate making DSC calls to Ship Stations.
However, the procedures for making Individual Calls to a Coast Station are
different. Calls to a Ship Station require that you enter a subsequent working
channel chosen from a pre-programmed list offered to you by the Ray49. Calls to
a Coast Station remove this step from the operating procedures. The Coast
Station controls and indicates the subsequent working channel within its
acknowledgement.
Chapter 5: Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
67
The Ray49 automatically detects the correct procedures for you based on the type
of MMSI number you enter manually or with or the phonebook. If “00” is
detected as the first two characters of the MMSI, Coast Station procedures are
implemented automatically.
Note: When making a call to a coast station, you will not be asked to select a working
channel because that will be provided by the coast station.
Transmitting an Individual Call
To make an Individual Call to a ship or coast station, you must select the specific
MMSI number to contact and the working channel to be used for the call. The
MMSI ID can be entered manually or selected from a Phonebook list of
preprogrammed numbers specified using the MENU function, as follows:
1. From the DSC menu, rotate the CH/OK knob until the arrow points to INDIVIDUAL.
2. Press CH/OK. The Individual Routine menu appears, which displays any
Phonebook entries you have saved and  for manual number
entry.
3. Rotate the CH/OK knob until the arrow points to the desired individual name.

5.6 All Ships Calls
An All Ships Call sends out a message to all stations within range. The Ray49 can
make All Ships Safety Calls for advisory alerts and Urgency Calls when assistance
is required but life is not in danger. For example, you might send a Safety Call to
warn others there is a large floating object that may be a hazard to navigation. A
sample Urgency Call might be that you have an illness or an accident on board.
The All Ships Call is made on channel 70, and then the radio automatically
switches to channel 16 at high power for voice communications.

5.8 Received Calls (Logs)
The radio maintains lists of the last received DSC call types by number and time of
call. Separate logs are maintained for the following:
1. Distress (up to 10 entries, per log)
• Distress Log
• Distress ACK Log
• Distress Relay Log
2. Call Log (up to 20 total entries)
• Individual Calls
• All Ship Calls
• Group Calls
3. Position Log
• Last call received
If the calling vessel or station is listed in your DSC Phonebook, the vessel or station
name appears in the display as it is listed. If the caller is not listed in your directory,
the caller’s MMSI ID number appears in the display.
When a DSC Call is received, the envelope icon blinks on the LCD and an asterisk
(*) appears to the left of the appropriate log. The envelope icon and arrow symbol
disappear when the log is opened.
Coast Stations are identified by MMSI ID numbers beginning with”00”. If you
have assigned a name for a Coast Station in the phonebook, a tower symbol ( )
precedes the name field in the log to identify it as such. Similarly, Group Stations
have a single “0” in the initial MMSI number position. If the MMSI ID begins with
any number other than “0”, an anchor symbol ( ) is entered as a prefix to the
name, identifying this as a Ship Station.

This feature is useful for preventing your radio from automatically switching
channels while you are maintaining a continuous watch on a certain channel (for
example, in a VTS controlled area) or working with other vessels (for example, for
towage).
Note: This feature can disable automatic channel switching for incoming DSC Distress
and All Ships Urgency Calls. If enabled, you are responsible for determining whether
manually declining the call is appropriate.

• If you accept OFF, on receipt of a Distress or All Ships Urgency Call you are
presented with brief details of the call and advised that a change to channel 16 has been requested. You can either accept the channel change or
decline, thereby continuing to monitor your current channel. When set
OFF, the
icon appears on the LCD.
If you accept the request, the call is received, a tone sounds and the radio
is changed to channel 16. Pressing any key disables the alarm. If you
ignore the call, after 5 minutes the radio declines the call, records the call
in the Call Log and maintains normal operation.

Intership channels are for communications between ship stations. Intership communications
should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not available, the other channels
marked for Intership may be used.
Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular
voice communications.
Notes:
1. Channel 06 may also be used for communications between ship stations and aircraft engaged in
coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship stations should avoid harmful interference to such
communications on channel 06 as well as to communications between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.
2. Within the European Maritime Area and in Canada, channels 10, 67 and 73 may also be used by
the individual administrations concerned for communication between ship stations, aircraft stations and participating land stations engaged in coordinated search and rescue and anti-pollution operations in local areas. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location) are also used for the
broadcast of Marine Safety Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency in the UK only.
3. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis as a navigation safety communication channel, primarily for intership navigation safety communications.
4. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board communications provided the effective radiated
power does not exceed 1 Watt.
5. The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communication only and
all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to channel 16. Transmit power is limited to 1 Watt.
