Which statement is NOT true regarding the SART?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — This is a 6 GHz transponder capable of being received by a vessel's X-band navigational radar system.
SARTs are strictly 9 GHz devices designed for X-band radar compatibility. A 6 GHz transponder would be incompatible with standard marine navigational radar systems. Therefore, the statement claiming a SART is a 6 GHz device is factually incorrect and violates established GMDSS technical specifications.
