What is the equipment arrangement that provides the maximum availability for reception of MSI broadcasts when using Inmarsat-C for TELEX communications?
⢠Maritime Safety Information (MSI) purpose and why continuous reception is important ⢠How Inmarsat-C terminals handle TELEX and Enhanced Group Call (EGC) messages ⢠Difference between a separate EGC receiver and an integrated EGC function in an Inmarsat-C terminal
⢠Which equipment setup would still receive MSI if the main Inmarsat-C TELEX function is busy, turned off, or under maintenance? ⢠How does having multiple, independent reception paths compare with combining functions into one box, in terms of overall system availability? ⢠Which options listed are actually about MSI/EGC data reception versus unrelated voice or manual switching functions?
⢠Verify which choices specifically involve EGC (Enhanced Group Call), since MSI via Inmarsat is broadcast using EGC. ⢠Check whether system independence/redundancy or integration in a single unit generally gives higher availability when one function fails or is powered down. ⢠Confirm that HF SSB voice broadcasts are not the same as Inmarsat-C EGC MSI broadcasts and consider whether that affects their suitability as the primary arrangement.
