Q

Which functions may the holder of a GMDSS Radio Operator License NOT perform on the Inmarsat-C equipment?

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS Radio Operator License privileges and limitations • Difference between operational use of Inmarsat-C and technical/transmitter adjustments • Which tasks are considered routine user operations versus specialized maintenance/engineering

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: Is this something a normal trained radio operator is expected to do during routine watchstanding? • Which task, if done incorrectly, could directly change the actual RF output characteristics of the system rather than just how messages are sent or where they go? • Which functions are clearly everyday responsibilities tied to proper logging, correct routing, and correct positional data for distress and routine traffic?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve basic housekeeping and user-level operation (cleaning, logging, position entry, LES selection). • Identify which option involves altering technical transmission parameters beyond normal operator controls. • Recall that GMDSS radio operators are not normally authorized to perform engineering-level adjustments to transmitter power/EIRP—those are typically for qualified technicians.
