Title: DSC in MacENC and/or GPSNavX
#2
I think DSC would be a great feature for MacENC. I have an old Standard Horizon Spectrum+ VHF and a SH chart plotter which work together beautifully with DSC.

From the stand point of operation, this old system is a pretty good model. On an incoming emergency DSC, the plotter prompts you that it has received a distress and asks if you want to plot a course for the signal. If you are on auto pilot, selecting "Yes" automatically turns the boat in that direction.

Of course, for communications, the nifty thing is finding your friends location by "position requesting" them via DSC and having the response plotted on the chart. It's all pretty automatic and something I would love to see put into MacENC.
