Which statement is NOT true regarding an Inmarsat Distress Alert?
USCG coast stations will receive the alert and immediately notify the correct RCC.
The operator selection of LES will determine which associated RCC will receive the alert.
If the operator selects an invalid or inoperative LES code the NCS for that service will intercept the call and reroute the alert.
If the LES choice is not updated properly the Distress Alert might be routed to a non-optimum RCC, introducing delays and confusion into the Distress situation.
