About VHF-DSC
With your VHF-DSC radio simulator, you can improve your marine Radio operator skills. Multiple functions are now available, including communication between two or more devices: select a Waterplace from the settings menu and send DSC Routine messages. With VHF-DSC, you can train to send Mayday, Pan Pan, Security or Routine messages. RT (Radio communication) will work effectively as receiving real messages like Distress alert (mayday) or call. There is also the auto Distress function, to send a Mayday alert by holding buttons for 5 seconds. A new help page is available by opening the app menu (three parallel line symbol top right corner of the app) and clicking on the help menu item.
