Hello All, Thanks for the replies. I am aware of the need to get an MMSI number and will be starting that process shortly. I'm uncertain at this time whether to get the quick and free BoatUS MMSI number or to go the slow, federal, not-free route - which would mean the DSC stuff could be used in no

Hi David, thanks for the info, looks like I got some reading to do or I could just ask the list... :) I thought to the DSC function was for ringing me mates on 16 (ring only their radio) and then we go to a working channel in the normal fashion. So if I have DSC enabled does the radio nee
