Twice now I have received DSC emergency alerts on NMEA2000 Lowrance Link 8 VHF. The alerts have not indicated on my TZT9 running 3.01 I know the Link 8 is functioning on the network as I see it's AIS reception on the plotter and the VHF is displaying the NMEA2000 GPS position.
I haven't tried a DSC non emergency call to see what happens as I don't have a radio programmed with a different MMSI than my own. Does anyone have experience with DSC message reception in the TZT?
On a side note, it would be "nice" if I could make a DSC call from an MMSI that received/displayed from the AIS. Is this a possibility or not in the NMEA protocol?
