[. . . ] DSC is used by mariners for two major operations--distress calls and position reporting. For more information about DSC and Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) numbers, see pages 86 in the "Appendix. " When the Garmin GPSMAP 3205 is connected to a VHF radio with DSC support, the GPS unit displays a call list, log, and a directory available to store incoming information received from another user's DSC-capable VHF/GPS combination. Basic wiring is required for the Garmin unit and VHF radio to send and receive NMEA data from each other. See the GPSMAP 3205 & GPS 17 Installation Instructions for more information. GPSMAP 3205 Owner's Manual 51 MAIN MENU > DSC (DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING) TAB Understanding DSC Distress Calls With a Garmin DSC-capable chartplotter properly connected to a VHF radio with DSC output, you can receive any DSC distress call within range. An alert message appears and an alarm sounds (if enabled) when a distress call is received. The alarm sounds only for a distress call; position reports do not sound the alarm. Distress calls are broadcasted to all DSC users in radio range and appear with a blue and white checkered icon on the DSC tab's Call List and Log sub tabs. The caller's name replaces the MMSI number as a reference, when entered. 1. Press up or down on the ROCKER until the call you want to review is highlighted. Press ENTER. To review a call or log entry: Understanding Position Reports The Review DSC Waypoint Page operates similarly to the Distress Page and Position Report Page. On the DSC Review Waypoint Page, press the Delete soft key to delete the entry, or press the Create Wpt soft key to create a waypoint. Review DSC Waypoint The position report operates similarly to the distress call. This type of contact is like a phone call; no emergency alarms are set off and the call is specific to the receiver. Position reports are not broadcasted to all DSC users and appear with a gold boat icon. Call List Sub Tab The Call List sub tab shows the 100 most recent calls, even if the unit is left unattended. Log Sub Tab When DSC calls are received, they are automatically stored in the log, with the latest call at the top. The unit can store up to 100 calls; after 100 calls are received, the oldest is removed when a new call is received. The Call List and Log sub tabs both show the call Type, Date/Time, Position, and MMSI/Name. Pressing the Sort By (Call) Type, Sort By Time, Sort By Name, Delete (only after highlighting a particular call), and Delete All soft keys allows you to sort and delete calls. Review DSC Waypoint 52 GPSMAP 3205 Owner's Manual MAIN MENU > DSC (DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING) TAB DSC Directory The DSC Directory acts like a phone book and can save up to 100 contacts. Press ADJ from this page to delete a highlighted entry or delete all entries. 1. The Directory Item Review window allows you to enter information of a known contact. Press up or down on the ROCKER to enter information, and press ENTER. Setting Up DSC Use the DSC Setup sub tab to turn DSC on and off. If you have more than one chartplotter and you only want DSC to show on one chartplotter, turn off DSC on all but one unit.
