🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress, Urgency, and Safety calling channels vs working channels • The specific purpose of Channel 70 in GMDSS DSC (Digital Selective Calling) • Which channels are used as calling/guard channels and which are used as working channels for follow‑on voice traffic

💭 Think About

• For a normal, non-emergency call between vessels, which channel do you usually use to establish contact, and which channel do you then move to for the actual conversation? • Is Channel 70 ever used for voice communications, or is it reserved for something else? Check its function. • Between Channels 16, 22, and 08, which are primarily associated with coast guard or safety broadcasts, and which are commonly used as an inter-ship working channel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that Channel 70 is DSC-only and not used for routine voice conversations. • Identify that Channel 16 is an international calling and distress channel, and routine conversations shouldn’t remain there after contact is made. • Check which of the remaining options is designated as an inter-ship working channel commonly used for routine follow-on voice communications.
