🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• When you are looking at an old message on a radio or other communication device, what could go wrong if you press the wrong key? • Which choice focuses on preventing interference or confusion on the radio channel, rather than on convenience or recordkeeping? • Why might sending the same message twice cause problems for other vessels or stations listening?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option mentions avoiding an accidental re‑transmission of the message. • Eliminate any answers that suggest doing nothing to prevent errors when using communication equipment. • Check which action is directly related to radio discipline and avoiding unnecessary transmissions.
