Given that DSC isn't new, and the current state of the MP budget, I wouldn't count on THAT happening anytime soon.

I would tend to lay more faith in a fully charged mobile phone, before waiting for a DSC signal to be responded to

Just sayin

I agree, one would not wait for a DSC call, ever, anywhere.

That's not how it works. You press the button, then make your distress call. You don't press the button and wait for help to arrive.

Also, on the lake, do what you must, cell phone, CH 16, etc.

Can the marine patrol even hear a radio call from every part of the lake? I hear them many times telling people to call via cell phone when a radio signal is weak.

We're now officially off the original topic.
