Distress calls are broadcasted to all DSC users in radio range and appear with a blue and white checkered icon on the DSC tab's Call List and Log sub tabs. You can enter a caller's name, if it is known. The caller's name replaces the MMSI number as a reference, when entered. 1. From the DSC tab, highlight the Call List or Log sub tab.
