Therange of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approxi-mately 20 nautical miles.Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a radiocall, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls. It hasalso been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Sys-tem (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches ondistress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritimesafety information broadcasts.This new system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPSposition (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and othervessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiateor receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, POSITION REQUEST, POSI-TION SEND, and Group calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSCtransceiver.7.2 DSC SCANWhen the radio is shipped from the factory it is programmed so CH70 (the DSCchannel) is scanned at all times. A selection is provided in the SETUP MENU todisable the DSC SCAN. Turning off DSC SCAN will disable the radio from re-ceiving DSC calls (i.e.: Distress Call, Individual Call, All Ships Call, and PositionRequests). If you want to use any of the functions the selection must be left ON.To Change DSC SCAN Method:1. Press and hold down the [CALL/SET(MENU)] keyuntil “RADIO SETUP” menu appears.2. Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to select “DSCSETUP” menu.3. Press the [CALL/SET(MENU)] key, then select “DSCSCAN” with the CHANNEL selector knob.4.
