3-87N1:
What causes the SART to begin a transmission?
After being activated the SART responds to RADAR interrogation.
When activated manually, it begins radiating immediately.
It is either manually or water activated before radiating.
It begins radiating only when keyed by the operator.
3-87N2:
How should the signal from a Search And Rescue RADAR Transponder appear on a RADAR display?
A series of 12 equally spaced dots.
A series of dashes.
A series of spirals all originating from the range and bearing of the SART.
A series of twenty dashes.
3-87N3:
In which frequency band does a search and rescue transponder operate?
9 GHz
3 GHz
S-band
406 MHz
3-87N4:
Which piece of required GMDSS equipment is the primary source of transmitting locating signals?
An EPIRB transmitting on 406 MHz.
Radio Direction Finder (RDF).
A SART transmitting on 406 MHz.
Survival Craft Transceiver.
3-87N5:
Which of the following statements concerning satellite EPIRBs is true?
Once activated, these EPIRBs transmit a signal for use in identifying the vessel and for determining the position of the beacon.
The coded signal identifies the nature of the distress situation.
The coded signal only identifies the vessel’s name and port of registry.
If the GMDSS Radio Operator does not program the EPIRB, it will transmit default information such as the follow-on communications frequency and mode.
3-87N6:
What statement is true regarding 406 MHz EPIRB transmissions?
Transmits a unique hexadecimal identification number.
Allows immediate voice communications with the RCC.
Coding permits the SAR authorities to know if manually or automatically activated.
