Q

The Dual Watch (DW) function is used to:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Dual Watch (DW) feature on standard marine VHF radios • The special role of Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) as the international calling and distress channel • Difference between continuous listening on two channels vs. scanning many channels in sequence

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes listening to ONE working channel while ALSO ensuring you do not miss distress or calling traffic on the main calling/distress channel? • Look for the option that talks about ONLY TWO channels, not all or many channels — what are those two channels in typical Dual Watch use? • Which options incorrectly describe SCAN functions rather than a Dual Watch function?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly involves Channel 16 plus one other user-selected channel • Eliminate any answer that mentions monitoring all or many channels — that is usually a SCAN feature, not Dual Watch • Verify that the description matches how a typical VHF radio behaves: it returns to the priority/distress channel whenever a signal is detected there
