Q

Which VHF channel is used only for digital selective calling?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) purpose and how it differs from voice calls • Which VHF channels are reserved internationally for distress, safety, and calling • Separation between channels used for voice distress traffic and those used for DSC only

💭 Think About

• Think about which channel you are trained to monitor for MAYDAY voice calls and routine hailing, and whether that one can be used for DSC only • Recall which channel number is internationally designated as a DSC-only channel and is paired with the main distress and calling channel • Eliminate any channels you know are used for working traffic with the Coast Guard or for intership safety communications

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the channel used for voice distress and calling (not DSC only) • Identify the channel used for working communications with the Coast Guard after initial contact • Identify which remaining channel is specified as DSC-only and not for voice traffic
