Which FCC license meets the requirements to perform or supervise the performance of at-sea adjustments, servicing, or maintenance which may affect the proper operation of the GMDSS station?
ā¢ GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) roles: who can OPERATE vs who can MAINTAIN equipment ā¢ FCC licenses that specifically authorize maintenance/servicing of GMDSS equipment vs those that only authorize operation ā¢ Difference between Operator, Maintainer, and Marine Radio Operator's Permit
ā¢ Focus on which option explicitly covers technical maintenance that could affect proper operation of the GMDSS station, not just routine operation of radios ā¢ Ask yourself: which license (or combination) is designed for someone who is qualified to repair, align, or adjust GMDSS equipment at sea? ā¢ Look for the answer choice(s) that include(s) the specific FCC credential tied to equipment maintenance, and check whether any extra, unrelated endorsements are a distraction
ā¢ Identify which credential includes "Maintainer" in its official FCC title and confirm that it relates to GMDSS ā¢ Verify that a Marine Radio Operator's Permit alone does NOT authorize technical maintenance of GMDSS equipment ā¢ Confirm that a RADAR endorsement is not directly relevant to GMDSS maintenance authority
