Q

If a VHF-DSC Distress alert is transmitted what channel is used for follow-on voice transmission?

🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF-DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and its dedicated channel for digital alerts • The designated international distress, safety, and calling voice channel • Difference between digital alerting channel and voice communication channel after the alert

💭 Think About

• When a DSC distress alert is sent, is the follow-on voice traffic normally conducted on the same channel as the DSC alert or a different one? • Which VHF channel is internationally recognized for distress, safety, and calling voice communications? • Among the options, which channel is reserved specifically for DSC-only use (no routine voice)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which channel is specifically assigned for DSC distress alerts only (no voice). • Identify which channel is designated as the international VHF distress, safety, and calling voice channel. • Verify that the follow-on voice communication after a DSC distress alert must be made on the voice distress channel, not on the DSC-only channel.
