When the two systems are merged
the AIS display will let you pick the ship you want to talk to and
call only him using DSC. Everyone else will not have to listen to
your conversation.


That's true if you stay on Channel 70 and don't listen to 16 or the other
CB channels...68, 69, 71, 72, 10, 12, 13....(c;


I'm not sure why they dont implement DSC on all VHF marine channels. Maybe
they will in the future after it is proven on channel 70. Do the current
DSC capable radios allow you to use DSC on channels other than 70??
