DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a VHF radio transmission system that can transmit digital signals. DSC capability enables you to use the Global Maritime Distress Signalling System (GMDSS) to transmit a coded distress signal using the DISTRESS button. Any DSC radio within range of the distress signal will automatically register the distress signal and display the details on the LCD screen. Every DSC user has a unique identifier called an MMSID.
