Digital Selective Calling / Distress Calling
This thread prompted me to look at some new radios and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with or answers to the following technical questions, or recommendations for fixed units.
Has anyone used the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature on the lake? Does Marine Patrol have the capability to monitor DSC Distress Calls and collect GPS positions?
Has anyone received a NOAA Weather Alert while boating? I got off the water just before a severe thunder/lightning storm last summer and thought I had my radio set correctly to receive storm warnings, but the radio never triggered.
