How can reception of certain NAVTEX broadcasts be prevented?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — The receiver can be programmed to reject certain stations and message categories.
Operators manage the volume of incoming data by programming the receiver to reject specific transmitting stations or message categories. This ensures that the bridge team remains focused on critical safety information relevant to their specific transit, rather than processing unnecessary data from distant or irrelevant coastal stations.
