10.9VHF DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
Digital Selective Calling is a
This new system allow mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate POSITION Request, POSITION Send calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
STANDARD HORIZON VHF Marine Radios with Digital Selective Calling are able to be interfaced with the GPS chartplotter which feeds GPS data to the VHF and listens for DSC calls from the VHF. By connecting a few wires between the STANDARD HORIZON VHF and the GPS chartplotter it will receive:
1.a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress call
2.a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Position Send Call
3.The position of a vessel that transmitted a DSC Position Request Call
10.9.0 Interfacing
To take advantage of these functions the plotter must be interfaced (wired) to a STANDARD HORIZON or compatible DSC VHF.
