12.13 DSC Message Information
The DSC (Digital Selective Calling) message information feature provides, on the plot-
ter and radar displays, the MMSI no. and position* of the ships that have transmitted
a DSC message to you. A hexagon-shaped marker marks the position of the ship at
the time the DSC was transmitted to you. The marker is color-coded according to the
type of DSC message sent, red for distress and green for non-distress.
* Position at the time of message transmission. Position information is not updated.
This feature requires connection of a DSC capable radiotelephone that outputs the
DSC sentence in NMEA 0183 format.
