For “On-scene” communications, vessels in Distress and SAR Aircraft should use?
  • VHF Ch-70, 4125 kHz J3E, 5680 kHz J3E
  • VHF Ch-70, 4125 kHz J2B, 5680 kHz J3E
  • VHF Ch-16, 4125 kHz F1B, 3023 kHz J3E
  • Correct Answer
    VHF Ch-16, 4125 kHz J3E, 3023 kHz J3E

For "On-scene" communications, vessels in Distress and SAR Aircraft should use?

(D). VHF Ch-16, 4125 kHz J3E, 3023 kHz J3E

The wrong answers have elements of the correct answer. Just remember 16, 4125, and three other elements have "3" in them. Or, 16, 12, 3, 3, 3. (4+1+2+5)=12
