🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (INTERCO) two-letter signal groups starting with the letter Z • Difference between: "message not understood" vs. "cannot read your signal" vs. "repeat" • Standard distress/urgency/safety and general signal groups beginning with Z

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which Z–code group is specifically used when the flags themselves are clearly seen, but the meaning is not understood? • Which similar Z–groups apply instead when you cannot distinguish the flags or you need the sending station to repeat or spell out the signal? • Can you recall any Z–groups used in routine radio/flag communication that mean something like "say again" or "I do not understand you" and how they differ?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the International Code of Signals list of Z–signals which code explicitly mentions "cannot understand your signal" or equivalent wording. • Check that the correct group does not mention "cannot distinguish" or "cannot see" the flags, but only refers to understanding/meaning. • Confirm that the chosen Z–group does not refer to repetition, spelling out, or signal not complete, but specifically to lack of understanding of the meaning.
