Module 4 - Channels & Frequencies

Applied SRC scenario

Scenario: A small craft operator must apply Channels & Frequencies during a busy coastal trip while maintaining a listening watch and clear voice procedure.

A good answer should include the call priority, the channel or DSC action, the first spoken phrase, the details to include, and the expected follow-up.

Key points

  • Use Channel 16 to identify what kind of traffic this is.
  • Use Distress and calling before choosing the next transmission.
  • Avoid the main trap: Using Channel 70 for voice or staying on Channel 16 for a working conversation.
  • State what you would do if no station replies the first time.
