Routine calls
1. After establishing contact on Channel 16 for a routine ship-to-ship call, what should normally happen next?
Channel 16 is a calling and distress channel. Routine traffic should move to an appropriate working channel.
Mock practice
Marine Radio SRC mini mock

The full mock sits alongside all modules, quizzes, flashcards, and the spoken scenario trainer.

2. Why is position included early in a Mayday message?
A distress message must give enough information for rescuers to locate the vessel quickly.
MMSI
3. What is an MMSI used for?
The Maritime Mobile Service Identity is the digital identity used by DSC radios and associated equipment.
Procedure words
4. What does 'over' mean at the end of a transmission?
Over means the transmission is complete and a reply is expected. Out means the exchange is complete.
GMDSS
5. What is the practical purpose of DSC within GMDSS?
DSC supports digital alerting and calling, but voice follow-up remains important for passing details.
Use mock practice after topic revision
Work through the modules first, then use the mock to test recall speed and whether you can move cleanly between call types.
Review why answers were wrong
A wrong priority call or wrong channel is more important than a simple memory slip. Use the breakdown to choose the next topic.
Do not treat scores as certification
The mock is revision practice only. It does not replace the RYA SRC exam or award a certificate.
Common questions
Does this replace the SRC exam?
No. It is independent revision practice and does not provide an RYA certificate.
Should I use the mock before the scenario trainer?
Use both. The mock checks knowledge; the scenario trainer helps you turn that knowledge into spoken radio procedure.
Are results saved?
Yes. Signed-in learners can keep progress and results against the Marine Radio course.
