I'm doing this course on Friday unfortunately ive had no training apart from watching your video, Can you give me an answer below is an email I required for my course I'll never work on a boat ever I don't even use a vhf radio I use uhf radio but if I don't complete the course I loose my job bit unfair, so my acessor has send below email but I'm struggling to think what he's asking for what my reply should be please 🙏 help application form and some photo ID (Passport or Driving Licence). Initially I will set you a few questions to check that you have still retained the knowledge necessary to pass the written exam. The main question is a distress scenario from which you have to produce a Distress Call and Message. for example: Your vessel VIKING QUEEN callsign GGDF MMSI 123456789 is in position 54 degrees 33 minutes North, 002 degrees 04 minutes West. Your vessel is on fire and you require immediate assistance. There are ten people on board and gale force winds. What is the Distress call, and message that you would transmit by voice after sending a Distress Alert by DSC? .......................................... Your answer should look like this: Call Mayday x3 this is VIKING QUEENx3 callsign GGDF MMSI 123456789 message Mayday VIKING QUEEN callsign GGDF MMSI 123456789 Position 54 degrees 33 minutes North, 002 degrees 04 minutes West On Fire Require Immediate Assistance 10 POB Gale force winds
Thank you Alan, this is one interesting video to watch to understand how the DSC system works, useful for me as I am preparing for my SRC!
Just getting into using the DSC ability of my Latest radio, I was surprised to find out that it is not just a one press to call as I always thought,,

Well said
Can D.Sc. be used on pc I mean can you see it on a map.
No you cannot see DSC on a map, do you mean AIS? This can be seen on chart plotters etc.
