🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions on GMDSS radios • Difference between transmitting equipment and receiving/monitoring equipment • Purpose of NAVTEX vs. voice/DSC distress alerting

💭 Think About

• Which device on a GMDSS-equipped vessel actually sends out a formatted digital distress alert, including your MMSI and position? • Is each option primarily designed to transmit alerts, receive broadcasts, determine position, or watch for calls? • Which option is specifically used for setting up and sending individual and distress calls on VHF/MF/HF?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a control unit for making DSC calls, not just for navigation or reception • Confirm which equipment is capable of initiating distress alerts rather than only receiving safety information • Eliminate any device whose primary role is navigation data or automatic safety message reception only
