I see potential issues with a DSC handheld, if the GPS is built in. DSC numbers are registered to vessels and not radios.
A handheld is easily moved from vessel to vessel. If the DSC emergency function is used, the CG and others could be looking for the wrong vessel.
There needs to be a way to easily disable the DSC function if it exists, as I expect it does bucasue of the display on the radio.

That would be a great feature!
DSC is tricky, I could see problems with new users "testing" it too often. We already have a problem with relay spam... I could could see similar problems with new user spam.

Most of Standard's radios are big brown bricks... this one looks much better.
