My VHF is all set up for the DSC stuff but I don't know anyone else who is. If I have a problem I just hit the red panic button and it starts transmitting all the vitals, automatically. I just don't think there would be anyone listening, yet. I wonder if it'll transmit under water?
Registering your boat and getting your number is easy. Some of the marine retailers are registration sites. I think I went through Boaters' World website--one of those. Or was it the CG site--don't remember.
The one I got has a lot of features that'll take some time to learn how to use. Mine has a PA feature, and I put a PA speaker on the front of the electonics box, and found it was a lot better than screaming at people in other boats. It's really loud and clear.
I WANNA GO FISHIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
