🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS distress alerting vs. radiotelephone follow‑up • The link between a DSC distress channel and its associated voice distress/safety frequency (for example, DSC Ch 70 vs. voice Ch 16 on VHF) • Correct procedure about who should acknowledge a DSC distress alert and on which mode

💭 Think About

• After a DSC distress alert is received, what is the next step: do you stay on the DSC channel, or change to the related voice channel? • Think about how voice coordination of the SAR (search and rescue) response actually happens—on DSC or on a radiotelephone distress/safety channel? • Which options describe continuous watches or follow‑up printing responses, and which option actually matches the immediate, standard procedure after receiving a DSC distress alert?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the paired radiotelephone distress/safety frequency that goes with the DSC distress calling frequency you’re on (e.g., Ch 70 ↔ Ch 16). • Verify that normal practice is to listen for and conduct distress traffic by voice, not to continue calling on DSC once the alert is received. • Eliminate any choice that focuses on starting or maintaining a general/continuous watch instead of the specific immediate action after that one DSC distress alert.

What is the proper procedure to be followed upon receipt of a Distress alert transmitted by use of Digital Selective Calling techniques?

Set watch on the radiotelephone Distress and Safety frequency associated with the Distress and Safety calling frequency on which the Distress alert was received.

Set watch on the DSC alerting frequency in the band of frequencies the alert was received.

Set a continuous watch on VHF-FM Channel 13, 16 and DSC on Channel 70.

Ship stations equipped with narrow-band direct-printing equipment should respond to the Distress alert as soon as practicable by this means.
