The DSC Page of the Main Menu controls and sets up the Digital 

Selective Calling (DSC) features on the GPSMAP 292/298. 
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) uses marine VHF radio and 

Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies to transmit and 

receive location information. The chartplotter repeats the call 

properties received from the VHF radio on the chartplotter. The 

GPSMAP 292/298 requires input from a DSC enabled VHF radio 

to show position, and sound/show alerts from a Distress Call or 

Position Report. Conversely, the VHF radio requires input from a 

GPS to transmit position coordinates for a Distress Call or Position 

Report. For connection information, refer to “Connecting the 

Power/Data Cable” on 

.

An emergency DSC Distress Call allows a vessel in trouble 

to transmit a substantial amount of information in a single 

transmission or call, without the need for voice communication. 

When any nearby rescuer receives the DSC signal, an alarm sounds 

and they immediately receive the location of the caller. The rescuer 

can choose to navigate to the caller’s location to assist, or forward 

the call on to the Coast Guard or other rescue operation specialist.
