Whether blue water cruising or fishing inshore, Raymarine have what you need for communication safety at sea. What is DSC? Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a global protocol that uses channel 70 (156.525 MHz) to transmit and receive digital messages. It works on DSC equipped VHF radios and is used for individual, ‘all ships’ and distress calls. DSC also enables you to selectively alert single or multiple boaters of incoming VHF calls by using stored Maritime Mobile Station Identifier (MMSI) numbers, similar to making a phone call.You can also poll another boat to obtain its GPS position and display it on a Raymarine multi-function display. DSC safety digital Mayday. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself having to make a mayday call, the last thing you need is extra complication. Making a DSC distress call is simple with Raymarine’s DSC equipped VHFs. Just press the button, clearly marked in the back of the handset, and GPS position and time information are transmitted in a digital ‘packet’ complete with the vessel’s Maritime Mobile Station Identifier (MMSI) telling other ships and shore stations exactly where you are and that you are in a distress situation. This simple procedure can dramatically increase your chance of a successful rescue compared to a traditional Mayday voice call.
