One of the members on The Hull Truth made a nice 3 minute video covering DSC functions. Specifically how to request a position from a fellow boater and how it is returned.
Just go HERE and click on the DSC video.
Basically, one must preprogram your DSC capable VHF with the MMSI number of the person or persons you wish to share info with, then request their position and it will be sent to your radio. Some radios with two way NEMA capability can send the data to your chartplotter display.
