Q

What should be used to send the group "Bearing 074° True"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of the letter groups A and B in radiotelephone/voice communications when sending numerical groups • How to correctly indicate that a bearing is True versus Magnetic when spoken or encoded • The standard ITU/USCG practice for sending a three‑digit bearing followed by a reference (T for True)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when sending a three‑digit bearing like 074, which letter group is used to introduce the bearing numbers themselves? • Consider: which part of the group is telling you it is a True bearing, and which part (if any) is merely a prefix code for the numbers? • Think about whether the letter that indicates True should come before or after the numbers when encoded this way.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which letter group (A or B) is used before a three‑digit group when sending bearings or courses by voice/RT • Confirm that the T must appear to indicate a True bearing and note its correct position relative to the digits • Check that your chosen option has both: the correct prefix letter for a three‑digit bearing group and the T to specify True, with all three digits present (074).
