10 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)
10.1
GENERAL
WARNING
This GX6000 is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and
safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety
device, this equipment must be used only within communication range
of a shore-based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch
system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions
should be approximately 20 nautical miles.
NOTE
WARNING
STICKER
A DSC Warning sticker is included with
the GX6000. To comply with FCC regulations this sticker must be mounted in a
location that can be easily viewed from
the location of the GX6000.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated method of establishing a
radio call, it has been designated by the International Maritime Organization
(IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio
calls. It has also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural
watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and
urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
This system allows mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position
(when connected to the transceiver) to the Coast Guard and other vessels
within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate or
receive Distress, Urgency, Safety, Routine, Position Request, and Position
Report, Automatic Position Polling, and Group calls to or from another vessel
equipped with a DSC transceiver.
