Q

On Scene communications should be conducted on which of the following channels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between distress/initial calling channels and working/on-scene channels on VHF • What Channel 16, Channel 22A, Channel 06, and Channel 70 are each normally used for • How the Coast Guard shifts traffic from an initial distress call to a coordination / working frequency

💭 Think About

• First, ask yourself: which channel is primarily for initial distress and calling, and which is used afterward to coordinate the response? • Which channel is reserved for Digital Selective Calling (DSC), and is it used for voice on‑scene coordination? • Among the options, which channels are most commonly associated with voice communications between vessels and SAR units once everyone is already on scene?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which one of these is a satellite beacon frequency rather than a VHF working voice channel • Confirm which channel is the international calling and distress voice channel (not usually where the full on‑scene coordination takes place) • Verify which channels are assigned for Coast Guard–to–public safety and intership search and rescue (SAR) working communications
