This is a intro only. Why not learn and practive marine VHF DSC radio on your PC with a simulator? See a getting started on RUclips from Mercator Publishing. Not only distress, but also Urgency and Safety call. And routine calls to other boats and marinas.
There is potentially dangerous misinformation in this video. DSC radios DO NOT relay DSC calls. ITU Recommendation M.541 section 3.4 specifies that "Distress relay calls should be initiated manually." And section 1.4, "In no case is a ship permitted to transmit an all ships DSC distress relay call on receipt of a DSC distress alert on either VHF or MF channels." Consumer DSC radios in conformance with ITU rules are not designed to relay calls automatically.
Lol, don't shoot the messenger. Only recorded the video to try and inform the public what the USCG's information was on DSC at the time. Thanks for watching.
If you want to do the public a favor, you should take this series of videos down. These videos are full of incorrect information that could lead to a tragedy.
SoccerDJRob, he said HF SSB and USB. Where did he say UHF? And someone else said MMSI's COULD belong to more then 1 vsl. Well, Inmarsat B or M ship earth stations were already using these which has created a problem issuing new ID's. So, that might be true but no more true then someone getting the same phone number as you have. I've never heard of a duplicate ID causing problems. He sounds more like an ET than a RM/TC.
What a joke!!!!!!!!! DSC radio's automatically relay distress alerts from boat to boat. INCORRECT DSC radio's will transmit DSC data if they don't have an MMSI. INCORRECT DSC radio's will simultaneously transmit DSC data and voice. INCORRECT The MMSI is specific to the radio itself, there cannot be two MMSI's that are the same. INCORRECT You can send messages from boat to boat just like text messaging. INCORRECT. What constitutes a mayday/distress situation is not written policy. INCORRECT
