What causes the SART to begin a transmission?

• When activated manually, it begins radiating immediately.

• It is either manually or water activated before radiating.

• After being activated the SART responds to radar interrogation

• It begins radiating only when keyed by the operator.

How does the searching vessel's radar interrogate a survival craft SART?

• Activate the IFF interrogation system.

• The SART responds automatically when it detects the search craft or other vessels' X-Band radar signal.

• Maintain watch on VHF-FM Ch-70 for the SART's unique identifier.

• The SART responds automatically when it detects the search craft or other vessel's 3.5 GHz radar signal.

What does a SART signal sound or look like?

• It transmits "SOS" and the vessel's name and position in slow speed Morse Code

• It will appear on a radar unit's PPI as a line of dots radiating outward with the innermost dot indicating the

  SART's position.

• It will appear on a radar unit's PPI as a line of dots radiating outward with the outermost dot indicating the

  SART's position.

• None of the above.

How can rescue personnel detect that a SART is transmitting in the immediate vicinity?

• The SART's dots on the PPI will begin arcing and eventually become concentric circles

• The DSC unit will react to the SART's signal and respond with the two-tone auto alarm.

• The SART can provide an approximate location to within a two nautical mile radius, per IMO standards.

• The SART signal appears as a target which comes and goes; the effect of heavy swells on a SART.

What signal is detected as originating from an SART?

• The Morse code distress series S-O-S repeated three times followed by DE and the vessel's call sign.

• line of dots on a radar screen outward from the SART's position along its line of bearing.

• A line of dots on a radar screen inward from the SART's position to its own ship along its line of bearing.

• None of these.

How can vessel personnel detect the operation of a SART in its vicinity?

• A unique radar signal consisting of a 12 dots radiating outward from a SART's position along its line of

  bearing.

• A unique two-tone "warbling" signal heard on VHF-FM Ch-70.

• A unique two-tone alarm signal heard upon the automatic un-muting of the 2182 kHz radiotelephone

  automatic watch receiver.

• The SART signal appears as a target which comes and goes; the effect of heavy swells on an SART.

How should the signal from a Search And Rescue Radar Transponder appear on a radar display?

• A series of dashes

• A series of spirals all originating from the range and bearing of the SART.

• A series of 12 equally spaced dots.

• A series of twenty dashes.

In which frequency band does a search and rescue transponder operate?

• 3 GHz

• 9 GHz

• S-band

• 406 MHz
