🔍 Key Concepts

• Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Regulations in 33 CFR Part 26 • Purpose of Channel 13 vs Channel 16 on VHF-FM • What DSC (Digital Selective Calling) on Channel 70 is actually used for

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which channel is specifically designated by regulation for direct navigational communications between vessels in close-quarters situations? • Consider: One of these channels is primarily for distress, safety, and calling; another is for navigation safety between bridges of vessels—can you match them? • Think about whether a vessel’s individual working frequency would satisfy a ‘required watch’ that all nearby vessels can monitor.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR Part 26 – Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Regulations which VHF channel is mandated for the Bridge-to-Bridge watch. • Confirm the distinct roles of Channel 13 (navigation/bridge-to-bridge) and Channel 16 (distress, safety, and calling). • Check whether DSC Channel 70 is for voice communications or digital signaling only—can it be used as a voice bridge-to-bridge channel?
