Compatibility with Various VHF Radios

The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature in marine radios is rela- tively new technology. The U.S. Coast Guard implemented its first DSC-capable systems in Atlantic City, N.J. and Chincoteague, VA in September, 2003. The entire U.S. DSC rescue system will not be opera- tional until Sept. 30, 2006.

As more marine electronics manufacturers enter this growing market, other connectivity issues with your unit may appear. You can check for known compatibility issues by visiting our web site, www.eaglesonar.com. Look in the Manuals section for updated documents for your sonar/GPS unit.
