DLP-MT-LPCOM8-MF/HF Daily test
In this learning path you will learn about Medium/High frequency. Daily test will be carried out. On board MF/HF radio should be tested daily
The MF/HF has Digital Selective Calling as standard with a built watch-keeping receiver. You can transmit and
receive digital selective calls for quick and efficient establishment of distress, urgency, safety and routine communication with other ships and coast stations.
For the GMDSS equipment to function properly and effectively in the event of an emergency, it is critical that mariners understand its purpose and do the required maintenance on board the vessel to keep it in a working condition and make the best use of GMDSS equipment.
The daily, weekly and monthly tests of all the GMDSS equipment should be done by every navigating officer responsible for it without any compromise. We must not forget that it is our only best friend in a distress situation at sea.
Ships at sea must be capable of performing the nine functional GMDSS requirements. They are:
Ship-to-shore distress alerting
Shore-to-ship distress alerting
Ship-to-ship distress alerting
SAR coordination
On-scene communications
Transmission and receipt of emergency locating signals
Transmission and receipt of MSI
General radio communications
Bridge-to-bridge communications
