JRC JSS-2150 - 11. Appendix; 11.1 Frequencies for Distress and Safety Calls

Appendix
11-1
11. Appendix
This section lists frequencies used for DSC such as frequencies used for routine calls
and frequencies used for safety and distress calls. It also lists the channel list of ITU
frequencies built-in to this equipment and the instructions for operating the MF/HF radio
equipment.
11.1 Frequencies for distress and safety calls
The following is a list of international
1
transmission frequencies (all simplex) used by coast and
ship stations for distress and safety purposes either with DSC, radiotelephone or telex. CH No.
indicates channel numbers preprogrammed to this equipment.
(DSC) (radiotelephone) (telex)
CH No. TRx(kHz) CH No. TRx(kHz) CH No. TRx(kHz)
--- 2187.50 --- 2182.00 --- 2174.50
401 4207.50 --- 4125.00 411 4177.50
601 6312.00 --- 6215.00 611 6268.00
801 8414.50 833 8291.00 801 8376.50
1201 12577.00 --- 12290.00 1287 12520.00
1601 16804.50 --- 16420.00 1624 16695.00
- When making DSC calls, the frequencies above can only be used if the
message category is Distress, Urgency, or Safety.
- The DSC frequencies listed above are watched by the DSC watch keeping
receiver.
- The radiotelephone frequencies other than 8291.00 kHz are the same as the
transmission frequencies of ITU channels 421, 606, 1221 and 1621. However,
when making calls for distress and safety purposes, use these frequencies
2
as
simplex channels.
