Why is it important to limit the duration of testing a SART? |
A) Excessive testing causes "burn in" on the vessel's radar PPI. |
B) Testing a SART should be performed only in a controlled environment, as a test signal may be misinterpreted as a genuine Distress situation. |
C) To prevent overheating, a SART requires sufficient ventilation that is significantly reduced when the SART is being tested. |
D) If another SART is testing at the same time, the two signals will cause damage to the unit that transmitted them. |
