It's private in the sense that you don't broadcast to the hundreds of vessels listening to ch16 that there's about to be some interesting chat on a random working channel. Yes, if people are actively listening they'll hear you, but they won't flock to your channel out of sheer nosiness like they do (I know they do, I do it myself :-) ) if you hail by voice on 16.
Will the DSC work in mountains an fells etc? So a mate of mine was out biking, had the accident an broke his phone as well. He had to wait in pain for another biker to call for help. If he’d had something like this on a radio or, if you have docked your boat an gone hiking etc, can it still be used for this purpose??? Many thanks
The service is designed for global maritime use. Maybe if you are treking remotely inland using a Personal Location Beacon...they have been known to save lives as well.
if IM324G is kept in AUTO TX mode if we ping for every minute from onshore is it possible to get location for every minute from IM324 to on shore Transceiver ?? #iICOM
Great guidance, there are many ppl still dont know how to use DSC properly
Thanks for the help
it amazes me that so few boaters use dsc and interface it with there gps, its free and can save your life.
what does position request mean in dsc feature?

@@Icom_UK that’s great, many thanks 🙏
Why don't these radios come with tone squelch (DCS or CTCSS) capabilities?
Is MMSI sent encrypted ?
So if someone is monitoring the frequency and has software that can decode plain text, could they read the message ?
MMSI is not encrypted.
Does DSC encrypt message on communication?
No, DSC are just short text messages (normally not shown to the user), without encryption.

i want GPS position of vessel for every 5 seconds is it possible to send gps location to on shore by using IM324G??? #ICOM
Maybe you should look at a radio with AIS like the IC-M506EURO. Then data can be received by AIS Receivers onshore.

Which country are you from....so I can direct you to technical assistance for that model in your country
They look pretty complicated to use compared to the latest Thrane & Thrane, which of course is out of range for most consumers.

Is DSC just with VHF radios? or also can be with MF/HF?
Lou Makin - no, HF and MW too slow for Data, just like HAM slow scan TV, not data rich.
Yes it is used on mf and hf bands as well
Can't get past the fact is face looks like one of the demons from Devil's Advocate due to the overdone video compression
