Q

What channel would you use to place a call to a shore telephone?

🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF marine radio channel purposes (distress/safety, digital selective calling, intership, port operations, non-emergency calls) • Which channel is used only for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) to set up other types of calls • Which channels are typically used as working channels or for special services like phone patches

💭 Think About

• First, identify the primary purpose of Ch-16 and why it is usually kept clear • Think about what Ch-70 is reserved for and whether normal voice conversations are allowed on it • Consider which of the remaining channels is commonly assigned as a working channel that could be used by a shore station offering telephone patch service

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which channel is distress, safety, and calling only (no routine long conversations) • Verify which channel is DSC-only (no voice) • Check which listed channel(s) can be used as a working channel with a shore station for non-emergency services such as a phone call
