Digital Selective Calling

Chartplotter and NMEA 0183 VHF Radio

Functionality

When your chartplotter is connected to a NMEA 0183 VHF

radio, these features are enabled.

• The chartplotter can transfer your GPS position to your radio.

If your radio is capable, GPS position information is

transmitted with DSC calls.

• The chartplotter can receive digital selective calling (DSC)

distress and position information from the radio.

• The chartplotter can track the positions of vessels sending

position reports.

Turning On DSC

Select Settings > Other Vessels > DSC.

DSC List

The DSC list is a log of the most recent DSC calls and other

DSC contacts you have entered. The DSC list can contain up to

100 entries. The DSC list shows the most recent call from a

the first call in the call list.

Viewing the DSC List

Before you can view the DSC list, the chartplotter must be

connected to a VHF radio that supports DSC.

Select Nav Info > Other Vessels > DSC List.

Adding a DSC Contact

Incoming Distress Calls

If your compatible chartplotter and VHF radio are connected

Information).

Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list

(DSC List, page
