🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS MF-HF distress and safety frequencies and how many are specifically designated for voice after a DSC alert • Difference between simplex and duplex operation, and which mode allows the greatest number of ships to monitor the same channel • Purpose of using internationally standardized frequencies for distress, urgency, and safety traffic

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which choices focus on making sure as many ships as possible can hear and respond to distress-related traffic on MF-HF? • Which answers are consistent with the idea that everyone listens on the same common frequencies after a DSC alert? • Does any option incorrectly suggest that only one station (like an RCC or coast station) should hear the traffic, instead of all ships in range?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which MF-HF distress and safety frequencies are designated for radiotelephony (voice) and that they are simplex channels • Check that GMDSS and DSC procedures require follow‑up voice traffic on specific, internationally agreed channels after a DSC alert • Make sure the correct option supports maximum reception by all ships within range, not just selective reception by one station
