Digital Selective Calling (DSC)

DSC automates distress signaling and routine communication in marine VHF and MF/HF radios. It enhances safety by allowing automated distress alerts with precise location data. DSC supports direct calling between vessels and shore stations, improving communication efficiency. Regulatory requirements mandate DSC capability on certain vessels, promoting standardized use. Technological advancements enhance reliability and functionality. Training ensures proper operation and compliance. DSC is integral to modern marine communication, providing a reliable means of distress signaling and communication management.
