When DSC first came out I thought it was a great feature....Got an MMSI number, etc...Read up about all the features of position req., etc...
I think it's great for making a distress call, but do any of you use it for boat to boat, etc?
I was thinking about adding my MMSI to a handheld and thought about the advantages / disadvantages to using the same MMSI or getting another one for the HH. The disadvantage is I guess your friends would need to program in both. The advantage is you can poll both for position info...
So how do you use it in real practical sense?
