Which statement is NOT true regarding the requirements of VHF Survival Craft Transceivers?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS requirements for VHF survival craft radiotelephone equipment • Required channels and modes (Ch-16, Ch-6, Ch-13, simplex vs duplex) for survival craft sets • Minimum power output and why low power is specified for survival craft units

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: Is this requirement specific to survival craft transceivers, or is it a requirement for ship’s main VHF equipment? • Which channels are universally required for distress and safety versus those used mainly for bridge-to-bridge or traffic purposes? • Consider whether survival craft sets are intended for simple, short-range, reliable voice use or for more complex multi-mode operations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which VHF channels are explicitly required by SOLAS/IMO for survival craft transceivers (pay special attention to Ch-16 and any others). • Check the minimum power output requirement in the survival craft radio standard (is 0.25 W realistic, too low, or too high?). • Confirm whether survival craft VHFs are designed for simplex-only operation or if duplex/multiple modes are required.
