🔍 Key Concepts

• Dual Watch (DW) function on a VHF radio • Purpose of Channel 16 (international distress, safety, and calling) • Difference between Channel 16 and Channel 70 (DSC – Digital Selective Calling)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the main safety channel that most recreational and small commercial VHF radios are designed to keep checking automatically? • Think about how many channels a typical Dual Watch mode is designed to monitor at once—does the name give you a clue? • Which channel is specifically reserved for DSC, and is that normally tied to dual watch on standard voice sets?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Ch-16 is used for versus Ch-70 on marine VHF. • Confirm how many channels are monitored in Dual Watch mode—compare that to options that say 4 channels. • Check whether Dual Watch means watching two specific channels (one of them being Ch-16) or any combination including Ch-70.
