How do you make a DSC individual (non-distress) call to a specific vessel?

A. Call the vessel by name on Ch 16 — DSC individual calls are only for commercial vessels

B. Enter the other vessel's MMSI in the DSC controller; select the working channel you propose; send the individual call on Ch 70 — the other vessel's DSC will alert the crew, who switch to the agreed working channel for voice communication

C. Send a DSC individual call on Ch 16 and wait for acknowledgement on Ch 70

D. DSC individual calls require Coastguard authorisation for leisure vessels

A. To send a digitally coded distress alert containing the vessel's MMSI and position automatically to all DSC-equipped stations and the Coastguard

B. To broadcast weather forecasts to other vessels

C. To make telephone calls from the vessel to shore

D. To operate the radar system remotely

A. A GPS waypoint identifier used in coastal navigation

B. Maritime Mobile Service Identity — a unique 9-digit number identifying the vessel; without it a DSC distress alert cannot identify the vessel to rescuers

C. A VHF channel number allocated by Ofcom for distress use only

D. A vessel survey certificate number required by the MCA
