Question 1 of 27070

You wish to communicate by radiotelephone with a foreign vessel using the International Code of Signals. This is indicated by the signal __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of the International Code of Signals (ICS) with voice/radiotelephone • Standard procedural words used to indicate you will speak using ICS groups • Difference between a single‑letter signal flag meaning and a spoken word that announces code use

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when using radiotelephone (voice), what spoken word tells the other vessel that the next groups you say are International Code of Signals groups? • Consider which option is specifically associated with introducing coded groups rather than being itself a one‑letter meaning or plain English word. • Think about which of these is commonly used at the start of a message, before you transmit letter groups or code groups.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is defined in the International Code of Signals as the voice signal meaning: “I am going to use the International Code of Signals.” • Check whether any choice is actually just the name of a letter flag with its own separate meaning, not a procedural word. • Confirm that the correct choice is the one you would say before transmitting the actual signal groups, not one of the groups itself.
