Here is a DSC equipped radio for $105 on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tegory=31275&i tem=4582047129&sspagename=mem_guide%3A3 Here is a DSC radio at west marine for $159 http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...1/-1/10001/148 723/10001/3001/0/3000 What is your idea of an "exorbitant" price???? Also, I am told that DSC is a digital CALLING mode only. The actual voice conversation happens not on channel 70 but on a standard VHF marine analog voice channel. 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.
