A portable survival craft transceiver can communicate with which stations?

• A. Shore stations
• B. Other survival craft stations
• C. Ships at sea
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Portable survival craft transceivers are designed to provide emergency communication to any nearby station that can assist. They operate on maritime VHF/DSC frequencies so you can reach coast guard or other shore facilities for rescue coordination, other survival craft units in the vicinity, and ships at sea. In an emergency, you might call on the standard distress or calling channels to alert responders and then establish a working channel with the appropriate station. Because it’s built to contact all types of responders, the best answer is that you can communicate with shore stations, other survival craft stations, and ships at sea.
