What do newer VHF radios come equipped with?

  1. GPS Navigation

  2. Digital Selective Calling (DSC)

  3. Bluetooth Connectivity

  4. Satellite Radio

The correct answer is: Digital Selective Calling (DSC)

While newer VHF radios may have a variety of advanced features, such as GPS navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, the one feature that is common in all newer VHF radios is Digital Selective Calling (DSC). DSC is a technology that allows radios to transmit distress signals with precise location information, making it easier for search and rescue teams to locate and assist those in need. Satellite radio, which provides access to satellite-delivered programming, is not a common feature found in VHF radios. Therefore, the correct answer is B Digital Selective Calling (DSC).
