  • Correct Answer
    Some portion of the call particulars will appear on the screen and the channel will not change.
  • The ECC alarm will sound and the watch officer should call back to determine the working frequency.
  • The ECC alarm will sound and the channel will change but the watch officer should ensure it is legal.
  • The channel will not change because the working frequency requested is illegal.
