Section 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls

5-1 WHAT IS DSC?

DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).

Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent maritime safety information.

DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped with DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress, urgency, safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.

5-2 Sending DSC calls

1. Press CALL MENU to show the types of DSC call that can be made.

Note that only four DSC call types can be shown at any

one time on the screen.

2. Press + or - to scroll up and down the DSC call types until the cursor is positioned at the desired option. Then press ENT. The DSC call types are:

These DSC facilities are available only on the VHF 7100US and VHF 7100EU models, and a valid user MMSID must have been entered to access the DSC functions.

2. Press the DISTRESS key to display the following categories. Scroll to the category that describes your situation, then press ENT:

UNDEFINED

FIRE

FLOODING

COLLISION

GROUNDING

LISTING

SINKING

ADRIFT

ABANDONING

PIRACY

OVER BOARD

EPRIB

3. Hold down the DISTRESS key for about 3 seconds, until you see the distress call sent message (DISTRESS CALL SENT!) on the screen. The whole display starts to ash and beep loudly.

The distress call repeats ve times continuously. It then repeats randomly every 3.5 to 4.5

minutes until a distress acknowledgement (DISTRESS ACK) is received from a search and rescue authority or until you cancel the distress call manually.

The radio selects CH16 automatically so that you can hear any incoming voice contacts from

search and rescue authorities or other vessels within range.

Press ESC if you need to cancel the distress call. This is the only key that operates in distress

mode.

This DSC function is available only on the 7100US and 7100EU models, and a valid user MMSID must have been entered to access this DSC function.

6-2 Receiving a Distress Call (DISTRESS!)

1. An alert sounds when a distress call (DISTRESS!) is received. Press any key to cancel the alert. You do not need to send an acknowledgement.

2. The radio automatically selects CH16 and displays the details of the distress call on the screen. Press PTT to establish voice contact.

The details are displayed over two screens that alternate every 1.5 seconds; the rst screen

shows the user MMSID and nature of the emergency (if specied), the second screen shows the time and the location (if specied). If the location and time are not specied, these are replaced with sequences of 9s and 8s respectively.

The VHF7100 is capable of receiving enhanced LL position data if the vessel transmitting

the Distress Call is sending this. This provides the position of the distressed vessel to within 20 m (60ft).

6-3 Distress Acknowledgement (

DISTRESS ACK

) or Relay

An alert sounds when a Distress Relay (DISTRESS RELAY) is received. Press any key to cancel the alert.

Try to make voice contact with the calling vessel. Maintain a listening watch on CH16 and standby to lend assistance.

For a Distress Acknowledgement (DISTRESS ACK) sent from the Coast Guard, your radio automatically cancels Distress Mode transmissions and CH16 appears. Press PTT to establish voice contact with the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard is the only agency allowed to send a Distress Acknowledgement (DISTRESS ACK).

Appendix B - Troubleshooting

1. The transceiver will not power up.

A fuse may have blown OR there is no voltage getting to the transceiver.

a) Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections.

b) After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse (2 spare fuses are supplied).

c) Check the battery voltage. This must be greater than 10.5V.

2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on.

The power wires may have been reversed.

a) Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire

is connected to the negative battery terminal.

3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the engine is running.

Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver.

a) Re-route the power cables away from the engine.

b) Add a noise suppressor to the power cable.

c) Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine lter.

4. No sound from the external speaker.

a) Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected.

b) Check the soldering of the external speaker cable.

5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (HI) power is selected.

The antenna may be faulty.

a) Test the transceiver with a different antenna.

b) Have the antenna checked out.

6. Battery symbol is displayed.

The power supply is too low or too high.

a) Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5V ± 0.5V DC.

b) Check the alternator on the vessel.

7. No position information is displayed.

The GPS cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect.

a) Check that the GPS cable is physically connected.

b) Check the polarity of the GPS cable.

c) Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate setting should be

4800 and parity should be set to NONE.
