My newly installed M506 does not show DSC data over the network. The system is a TZT2 12 and an FA-50 with hub and the M506 NMEA 2000 compatible. Normal SART data as it is from AIS does appear on the plotter but not DSC. I'm running the latest software version in the TZT2 and the Icom software version 1.10. I really need to show DSC position report on the plotter if possible.
 
We have found that DSC calling hasn't been fully implemented with the TZT2 and this has been reported to Japan. Hopefully the next software update will resolve that.
 
I wasn't really looking for DSC calling function. There is no DSC communication over NMEA 2000 at all of any kind. I was looking for DSC emergency position reporting and otherwise. Hopefully, they will resolve some of that in an update. I imagine they are reserving the calling solution until the Furuno 4800 is released and make it proprietary to the TZT2. I think it is rumored to come out this August.
