Which statement is NOT true regarding the requirements of survival craft portable two-way VHF radiotelephone equipment?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Operation on Ch-13
Survival craft VHF equipment is strictly for distress and on-scene coordination, typically using Channel 16 and other designated simplex channels. Channel 13 is reserved for bridge-to-bridge navigational safety communications and is not a requirement for survival craft portable transceivers.
