Default Standard Omni DSC upgrade?

I have the Omni model GX2340S VHF unit and it has just about every feature
(I thought) that I desired.. I finally got around to wiring up all the
connectors on the back and found it did have a NMEA connector..

But when I went to program in my SSID number, the menu wouldn't activate. I
opened the case and found that the "Optional" DSC Board (part number
CDS2300) was not installed.

This VHF was a gift from my kids when I was preparing to launched my boat a
couple years ago. (They ask me what features I wanted and one of my specific
requirements was DSC). Purchased too long ago to return it..

I suspect the West Moron represented this radio as having DSC.

The reality is, it is DSC capable but requires a factory upgrade.

Does anyone know how expensive it might be to have this option added to this
or similar model unit. Should I go to the local Marine Electronix shop or
should I contact the OEM??
