D Test call
Testing on the exclusive DSC distress and safety calling
channels should be avoided as much as possible by using
other methods. When testing on the distress/safety channel is
unavoidable, it should be indicated that these are test trans-
missions.
Normally the test call would require no further communica-
tions between the two stations involved.
