Default difference between DSC and AIS?

Tom, Larry is talking about the "Totalitly" of DSC, not the very small
Subset, of DSC that is implimented in the radio's you are tallking about.
I would guess that if you were to research the cost of a Full Blown Class
A DSC VHF Radio System, you would consider the price involved,
"exorbitant", in the extreme. What you have been "told" is a very
small subset of the DSC capabilites that were designed into this
antiquated 1980's technology foisted on the ITU/IMO by the Europeans.

Gotta see one work to see what it can do, Tom....(c;

Just calling one station you key in manually or for help isn't DSC...or
GMDSS...
