Which statement concerning locating signals in the GMDSS is FALSE?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — Locating signals are transmitted by survival craft VHF transceivers.
Survival craft VHF transceivers are designated for two-way voice or DSC communications rather than acting as dedicated locating signals. SARTs, EPIRBs, and radar equipment fulfill the specific GMDSS functional requirements for homing and locating distress positions.
