🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS VHF-DSC procedures for distress alerts • The role of Channel 70 (DSC) versus Channel 16 (voice) • Proper sequence: alarm, information read‑out, follow‑up listening/response

💭 Think About

• After a DSC distress alert is received, what is the primary purpose of Channel 70 compared to Channel 16? • Which action must you take first to be able to understand the nature and details of the distress, without transmitting yet? • In real practice, do you immediately transmit an acknowledgement by DSC, or do you first monitor for a specific type of follow‑up transmission on a specific channel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which channel (Ch‑70 vs Ch‑16) is used only for DSC signalling and not for voice traffic. • Confirm whether ship stations should normally send a DSC distress acknowledgement or wait for a coast station or voice distress call first. • Check standard GMDSS training guidance on the sequence: silence alarm → check/read display → monitor the correct channel for follow‑up distress traffic.
