Handheld VHF DSC Marine Radio

There are many ways to communicate with others at sea. Communicating with others at sea is an important way to stay safe. But in recent years VHF marine radios have become the best form of short-range communication. Today I would like to recommend a handheld VHF DSC marine radio to everyone.

What is a VHF DSC radio?

DSC handheld radios work just like standard VHF handheld radios, but with a few additional features.DSC handhelds have a red emergency button. By pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds, you can send an emergency distress signal to the Coast Guard and other DSC radio equipped vessels in your area.

How does the VHF DSC radio work?

The Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) numbers of other DSC radios can be entered and stored in your radio's address book. Select the name of the person you want to call from the address book, each with a corresponding MMSI number. His or her radio will begin to beep and automatically switch to the same channel as your radio. If you don't know how to set your own MMSI code, our previous blog on how to set MMSI code can help you solve this problem.
