🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) basic requirements • Purpose of a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) • How a VHF-DSC radio knows who you are and where you are in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Which of these options is about giving the radio a unique digital identity, required for DSC distress calls to be recognized and routed? • Which option is about improving or powering the radio in general, but is NOT strictly required to enable the DSC emergency function? • Think about what information must be pre-programmed into the radio before you can lawfully and effectively send an automated distress alert.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are about hardware/power versus digital registration/identification. • Recall that DSC distress alerts transmit your vessel’s identity and, if available, position – which item in the list provides that identity? • Before picking an answer, ask: “Without this item, could the shore station or rescue services know exactly which vessel sent the DSC distress alert?”
