Use the DSC tab to control and set up DSC features on the GPSMAP 2106/2110. 

DSC uses marine VHF radio and GPS technologies to transmit and receive 

location information. DSC is used by mariners for two major operations—distress 

calls and position reporting.
For more information about DSC and Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) 

numbers, see page 

85

When the GPSMAP 2106/2110 is connected to a VHF radio with DSC support, 

the GPS unit displays a call list, log, and a directory that stores incoming 

information received from another user’s DSC-capable VHF/GPS combination. 

Basic wiring is required for the Garmin unit and VHF radio to send and receive 

NMEA data from each other. See the GPSMAP 2106/2110 & GPS 17 Installation 

Instructions for more information.

With your GPSMAP 2106/2110 properly connected to a VHF radio with DSC 

output, you can receive any DSC distress call within range. An alert message 

appears, and an alarm sounds (if enabled) when a distress call is received. The 

alarm sounds only for a distress call; position reports do not sound an alarm. 

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.

The position report operates similarly to the distress call. This type of contact is 

like a phone call; no emergency alarms are set off, and the call is specific to the 

receiver. Position reports are not broadcasted to all DSC users and appear with a 

gold boat icon.

The Call List sub tab shows the 100 most recent calls, even if the unit is left 

unattended. You can select any entry from the Call List to show an Entry Review. 

When DSC calls are received, they are automatically stored in the log, with 

the latest call at the top. The unit can store up to 100 calls; after 100 calls are 

received, the oldest is removed when a new call is received. 
The Call List and Log sub tabs both show the call type, date/time, position, and 

MMSI/Name. Pressing the Sort By (Call) Type, Sort By Time, Sort By Name, 

Delete (only after highlighting a particular call), and Delete All soft keys allows 

you to sort and delete calls.
