Module 8 - Digital Selective Calling

Applied SRC scenario

Scenario: The set has an MMSI and position input, so the operator must choose the right DSC category and then make the matching voice follow-up.

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 MMSI to identify what kind of traffic this is.
  • Use Digital alerts on Channel 70 before choosing the next transmission.
  • Avoid the main trap: Treating a DSC alert as the whole message instead of following up by voice.
  • State what you would do if no station replies the first time.
