🔍 Key Concepts

• DSC (Digital Selective Calling) distress procedures on VHF radios • Difference between voice MAYDAY calls and digital distress alerts • How the dedicated Distress button/hot key is designed to work in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Which option actually uses DSC digital signaling on Channel 70 instead of just voice? • In a real emergency, which single action is designed to be the fastest, simplest step for any operator, even if they are panicking? • Does selecting items from a menu or making a voice call take longer than using a dedicated emergency control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices involve voice calls only (no DSC) and which involve a digital distress alert. • Check which option requires multiple menu steps versus a single, protected action. • Confirm which channel is reserved for DSC signaling (Ch-70) and how a distress hot key is normally programmed to use it.
