Digital Selective Calling (DSC) uses marine VHF radio and Global 

Positioning System (GPS) technologies to transmit and receive 

location information. DSC is used by mariners to assist them in two 

major areas: Distress Calls and Position Reporting. See 

page 21

and the “Appendix” for more information on DSC and using it with 

your GPSMAP 292/298.
