Anyone try using it yet? Anyone using it regularly. Anyone have their
MMSI? How many people have connected their VHF-DSC radio to their GPS
to broadcast position? How many people even know what DSC is, let alone
how to use it?

I have a MMSI. It is registered to both our EPIRB and also to the SSB
radio, but not to the VHFs which are not DSC compatible. The SSB gets
a Lat/Lon position update from the Furuno chart plotter.

Fortunately we've never had occasion to use any of this.
