What if the DV skipper is a lone sailor and is deaf?

What frequency ( channel 70 ) does the DSC distress call get sent on ?
Who monitors this channel ?
Is there a LEO ( low earth orbit ) emergency frequency ?
Is there a radio that will transmit a text message via satellite, like the emergency pagers that hikers carry with them in case of needing rescue ?

Check out this website for more information on DSC distress calls and monitoring. I'm only aware of the PLB devices you refer to for marine and hiking. www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=DSCDistress

Bob….how do I find out my mmsi number?
Thanks

[@hellobobdavis]

First, you need to register for a MMSI number. Then you, your dealer or distributor needs to input it in the radio. You can check the MMSI number in menu screen. Look for MMSI/GPS.
