How is mutual interference among NAVTEX stations avoided?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — Both b) and c).
NAVTEX stations operate on a shared frequency (518 kHz). To prevent signal overlap, each station within a NAVAREA is assigned specific time slots for transmission. Additionally, transmitter power is strictly regulated to ensure coverage is limited to the intended service area, preventing interference with distant stations on the same frequency.
