How can a SART's effective range be maximized?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — The SART should be held as high as possible.
Radio wave propagation for X-band SART units is strictly line-of-sight; holding or mounting the transponder as high as possible inside or outside the survival craft maximizes the radio horizon and extends detection range.
