Sorry about the confusion. To be clear I hold both the Marine and
Restricted Radio Operator's Permits and have a ship station for the
boat. Those are FCC grants. I don't have any GMDSS/DSC
endorsements. I take it that means I'm out of compliance if I use a
DSC radio -- I don't yet. Still, I take a little comfort in being
part of a really big class of people who are not in compliance. As
you say, the whole thing is stupid.

You hold Element 1, the old Radio Operator's radiotelephone license. You
won't have to take Element 1 over again, just Element 3 (Theory and
propagation) and Element 9 (GMDSS operations and rules). Element 1 is
radio laws and procedures.
