What should a GMDSS Radio Operator do if a NAVTEX warning message is received but it contains too many errors to be usable?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Do nothing. Vital NAVTEX messages will be repeated on the next scheduled broadcast.

NAVTEX is a broadcast system, not a two-way communication link. Vital information, such as navigational or meteorological warnings, is transmitted repeatedly at scheduled intervals. If a message is corrupted, the operator should wait for the next scheduled broadcast cycle, as the system is designed for redundancy.
