advantages over older VHF radios without this functionality.
•
A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before DSC
functions can be used.
•
Many countries do not have radio repeaters that support DSC
message relaying. However DSC can still be useful for direct ship-to-
ship communication, where the other vessel is also equipped with a
DSC capable radio.
•
DSC distress calls generated by this radio are limited to the same
range restrictions that apply to regular VHF transmissions. The
vessel sending a distress can only rely upon DSC if within range of a
GMDSS Coast Radio Station. Typical VHF range may be about 20NM,
though this varies greatly depending upon installation, antenna
type, meteorological conditions, etc.
ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification
