1-D-22: SARTs
1-22D1:
In which frequency band does a search and rescue transponder operate?
9 GHz.
3 GHz.
S-band.
406 MHz.
1-22D2:
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.
1-22D3:
What is the purpose of the SART’s audible tone alarm?
It informs survivors that assistance may be nearby.
It informs survivors when the battery’s charge condition has weakened.
It informs survivors when the SART switches to the “standby” mode.
It informs survivors that a nearby vessel is signaling on DSC.
1-22D4:
Which statement is true regarding the SART?
This is a 9 GHz transponder capable of being received by vessel’s X-band navigational RADAR system.
This is a performance monitor attached to at least one S-band navigational RADAR system.
This is a 9 GHz transponder capable of being received by another vessel’s S-band navigational RADAR system.
This is a performance monitor attached to at least one X-band navigational RADAR system.
1-22D5:
At what point does a SART begin transmitting?
If it has been placed in the “on” position, it will respond when it has been interrogated by a 9-GHz RADAR signal.
It immediately begins radiating when placed in the “on” position.
It must be manually activated.
If it has been placed in the “on” position, it will begin transmitting immediately upon detecting that it is in water.
1-22D6:
How can a SART’s effective range be maximized?
The SART should be held as high as possible.
The SART should be placed in water immediately upon activation.
Switch the SART into the “high” power position.
If possible, the SART should be mounted horizontally so that its signal matches that of the searching RADAR signal.
