... Someone earlier stated that a DSC call could be initiated from the AIS data on the chart plotter.... I'd like to know how that is done if more detail could be provided.
I will try and get a screen shot or two later. But when you click on a target you can select from the top of the screen what you want to do (IIRC). One of those options is DCS Calling. That will prompt the VHF to call, there may be another "do you want to call message" on the VHF, not sure. I will say selecting the target is a bit of hit/miss when using your finger. The remote may be a better choice to use.
EDIT: Missed @b_arrington 's post ... Will still verify with a SS or two.
