27Chapter 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls5.1 WHAT IS DSC?DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System). Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent maritime safety information. DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped with DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress, urgency, safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.5.2 SENDING DSC CALLS1. Press CALL MENU to show the types of DSC call that can be made. Note that only four DSC call types can be shown at any one time on the LCD menu.2. Press + or - to scroll up and down the DSC call types until the cursor is postioned at the desired option. Then press ENT. The DSC call types are:These DSC facilities are available only on the VHF7100 USA and VHF7100 EC models, and a valid user MMSID must have been entered to access the INDIVIDUALINDIV ACKLAST GROUPALL SHIPSCALL LOGDISTRESS LOGMake a manual call or reply to a new caller or a buddy.See Section 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.Make a call to one of your three groups.
