DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a method of establishing a VHF radio call.
DSC had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will be used to announce
routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.
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.
