RANGE
The range of VHF transmissions depends on antenna height, transmitter power and
the terrain over which the signals pass.
DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING (DSC)
The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature on your MX1000 Marine VHF radio uses
an arranged digital data message, instead of voice, in order to transmit urgent or
important information to another radio.
DSC is designed to alert all radios within a predetermined range to a distress mes-
sage, even if the vessel’s listening watch is not being maintained, as this increases
the chance of the signal being heard.
