70% to passIf you receive the signal over radiotelephone of "Romeo Papa Tango" while using the International Code of Signals, you should _______________.
A
end the transmission
B
report to the caller
C
continue since he received your last transmission
D
repeat your last transmission
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) repeat your last transmission. The International Code of Signals is a standardized set of signals used for communication at sea. The signal "Romeo Papa Tango" is a request to repeat the last transmission. This is because the receiver was unable to clearly receive the previous message, so they are asking the sender to repeat it. The other options are incorrect because A) ending the transmission would be inappropriate, B) reporting to the caller is not the proper response, and C) continuing without repeating the last transmission would not address the receiver's request to repeat the message.
