✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which control on a GMDSS VHF/MF/HF set is specifically labeled and protected for distress alerting only (often under a cover). • Check standard procedures in GMDSS manuals for initial distress action: which comes first, digital alert or voice Mayday? • Confirm whether selecting Ch-16 by menu is necessary before using the radio’s dedicated distress function.
