Interesting?
We put our Rosborough in for the season this morning. We quickly tied the boat up in her slip and headed home to rinse the trailer off etc. When we came back to the boat about 12:30 there was an alarm going off in the boat. I wasn't sure what it was. I was thinking it could be the CO sniffer or gas sniffer as I fueled the boat up before we launch in the morning. When I open up the boat I found that I had left both VHF on and they both had picked up a distress call through the DSC. First time I have ever seen that happen. There was a 9 digit # listed on the VHF. Seems that without the GPS sending a signal to the VHF it will pick up a distress call in the region not just in your area.
Anyone else ever have something like this happen? Scared the crap out of me because I thought I hit the DSC button or something.
