Based on another thread regarding VHF radios, I thought I would start this discussion.
Do you use DSC?
I found it to be complicated. It is just easier to hail my buddy on Channel 16. Half the owner's manual is all about using DSC.
In Canada my DSC went off as someone was declaring a "mayday." Scare the liv'in crap out of me when it went off. Then I didn't know how to turn it off or delete the call. Had to break out the book for a hour to figure it all out.
