3.12 DSC Test
This function contacts another DSC-equipped vessel to test your DSC radio for proper
operation. To use this feature, the radio that you transmit the test call to must have the
DSC test feature.
To do the DSC test, enter the MMSI of another vessel. The MMSI can be one you have
programmed into the individual directory or a manually entered one.

tory
