🔍 Key Concepts

• DSC (Digital Selective Calling) distress relay on MF 2187.5 kHz and what it is used for • Difference between DSC distress/relay frequency (2187.5 kHz) and voice radiotelephony distress frequency (2182.0 kHz) • Correct procedure after receiving a coast station distress relay: what you listen on, and on which frequency you make any voice call

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is 2187.5 kHz used for digital calls, voice calls, or both? How does that affect what kind of transmission you make next? • When a coast station sends a distress relay, what is your ship normally expected to do immediately afterward: re‑transmit the DSC call, switch to a voice frequency, or call back on DSC? • Which frequency is designated internationally for MF voice distress traffic, especially associated with 2187.5 kHz DSC alerts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which frequency (2187.5 vs 2182.0 kHz) is officially designated for DSC-only use versus radiotelephony (voice) distress and safety traffic. • Confirm whether ships are normally required or even allowed to retransmit DSC distress relays originating from a coast station. • Make sure the action you choose involves the correct mode (DSC vs voice) on the correct paired distress frequency for follow‑up communications.
