Section 21
SITOR (NBDP)-FEC:
If a vessel is within range of NAVTEX broadcasts and both the Inmarsat-C and the NAVTEX receiver are inoperative the GMDSS operator should:
  • Correct Answer
    Select 518 kHz FEC TELEX on the MF/HF console to receive MSI.
  • Select 518 kHz ARQ TELEX on the MF/HF console to receive MSI.
  • Request repairs of the Sat-C system and wait until within range of NAVTEX.
  • Select an HF MSI frequency and ARQ TELEX mode to receive MSI.

Selective FEC communications (SFEC) are employed when:
  • Multiple stations without a group SELCALL must receive communications without using their transmitters.
  • Multiple stations must receive communications by using their transmitters to achieve phasing.
  • Correct Answer
    An individual station must receive communications without transmitting (Radio Silence).
  • An individual station must receive communications by using their transmitter to achieve phasing and block other stations from breaking in.
