DSC is tricky, I could see problems with new users "testing" it too often. We already have a problem with relay spam... I could could see similar problems with new user spam. That would be a great feature!

DSC numbers are registered to vessels and not radios. A handheld is easily moved from vessel to vessel. If the DSC emergency function is used, the CG and others could be looking for the wrong vessel. There needs to be a way to easily disable the DSC function if it exists, as I expect it does bucasue of the display on the radio. I see potential issues with a DSC handheld, if the GPS is built in.
