7-A-050: VHF: Channel System, Usage, & U.S.-International Channels

7-50G1: A VHF frequency channel pair of TX 157.200 MHz and RX 161.800 MHz would most likely be:

Both a) and c) are correct

A Public Correspondence Coast Radio Station frequency.

Simplex

Duplex



7-50G2: Which channel is utilized for the required bridge-to-bridge watch?

VHF-FM on Ch-13 in most areas of the continental United States.

DSC on Ch-70

VHF-FM on Ch-16

25 watts after dark.

25 watts during a clear sunny day.

1 watt using DSC at night.



7-50G4: The USA-INT control on VHF units:

Changes selected international duplex channels to simplex channels for use in U.S. waters.

None of the above



7-50G5: The USA-INT control on VHF units:

Both a) and c) are true

Was made necessary by a desire for more simplex channels in the U.S.

Correctly set, will result in duplex operations in U.S. Coastal waters on the "alpha" channels.

Correctly set, will result in simplex operations in U.S. Coastal waters on the "alpha" channels.



7-50G6: Proper and legal VHF operations require:

Both answers a) and c) are correct
