🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) function within the GMDSS system • Difference between alerting/calling systems and information broadcast systems • What type of traffic is classed as distress, urgency, safety, and routine calling

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is DSC mainly for sending detailed message content, or is it for setting up and alerting for a radio communication? • Which option best matches the idea of an automatic digital alert/call setup method between ships and coast stations? • Which choices describe services normally provided by NAVTEX, SafetyNET, or satellites, rather than by DSC itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice talks about initiating distress/urgency/safety alerts and routine calling between stations. • Eliminate any option that mainly describes weather and MSI broadcasts, which are usually handled by other GMDSS components (e.g., NAVTEX, SafetyNET). • Make sure the option you select reflects DSC as a selective calling and alerting system, not as the primary means for ongoing voice traffic or position reporting via satellite.
