Do ALL radios have the DSC function? Icom America Inc. Fact, Fiction and Kind Of! Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a technology that allows VHF radios to send and receive digital messages, including distress calls. DSC is a core part of the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). After 1998 in the United States, ALL fixed mount radios were required to have the DSC function and as far as handheld - almost all of them do now, but it depends on what radio you’re using and what you need it for. #icom #icomamerica #uhf #vhf #dsc #digitalselectivecalling #maritimedistresssafetysystem #radiofacts #radio #factorfiction #captainsclassroom #thecaptainsclassroom #themoreyouknow

Wescom Group’s award winning sMRT ALERT man overboard (MOB) device is the first UK manufactured #beacon to meet Class-M standards, but how will the new standard improve marine safety? The sMRT ALERT is manufactured to Class M standards and includes a DSC receiver and GNSS positioning that will have several safety benefits: ✔ The DSC receiver allows #reassurance signal back to the person in distress, acknowledging their call for help has been received. ✔ The sMRT ALERT’s dual GNSS accelerates MOB location detection. ✔ The DSC receiver allows two-way communication, improving the #efficiency of man overboard awareness, as alerts can be identified quickly and acted upon.

Added base support for these SDRplay radios: RSPduo, RSPdx, and RSPdx R2 using gr-sdrplay3. Like this if you want RSP1, RSP1A, RSP1B, and RSP2 to be added.

Meet with top executives next week in Dallas to discuss how we can help your AOG TAT!

What Did You Learn Today? DAY 6 So I’m sure many of us have heard of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). But I learnt we also have LiFi (short for 'Light Fidelity') which uses light instead of radio frequencies and is 100 times faster than WiFi. Ofcourse , it uses light.😅 #WhatDidYouLearnToday

Tech that makes a difference. 🌩️ OXEN & ERICC keep first responders connected in the toughest situations. We’re always ready to step up. OXEN: Off-grid, Cross-Communications Network trailer ERICC: Emergency Response Incident Command Center vehicle These assets are designed to establish independent, off-grid networks. Joining the nearly 600 deployable assets, reinforcing the commitment to keeping first responders connected when it matters most. Eric D.

A successful breakout session was completed yesterday at the "MASS North Sea MoU Symposium," where I presented on the topic of "Redundant USV Control Capabilities: Balancing Control Limitation and Redundancy." The session delved into key areas: - Redundancy in USV Systems - Control Limitation and Efficiency - Challenges and Solutions in Training for Redundant Systems - Ensuring Competence in Control Limitations - Operational Challenges for ROC Operators - Balancing Redundancy Without Overcomplicating - The Role of Regulation and International Collaboration The discussions showcased varying perspectives within the MASS community in MoU countries, highlighting both differences and common ground. This opens up avenues to strive for a unified approach to MASS in the MoU region. Special thanks to the Belgian Maritime Authority for hosting this insightful symposium. #MASS #USV #Maritime #Collaboration
