Deck Rules (Supplementary) USCG Question #99 (Set 1)

Which GMDSS control selection may result in limited receiving range?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Setting the squelch control to its maximum level

Setting the squelch control to its maximum level excessively suppresses weak radio signals, effectively raising the receiver threshold and severely limiting the reception range for distant or low-power transmissions.
