Which task is NOT the responsibility of the GMDSS Radio Operator?

A Measuring the SART's transmitted frequency.
B Placing the SART in the test mode and verifying that the nearby PPI shows concentric circles.
C Inspecting and cleaning the SART's container, and clearing the immediate storage area of any debris or obstacles.
D Ensuring the SART's batteries are replaced before their expiration date.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Measuring the SART's transmitted frequency. This is because measuring the SART's (Search and Rescue Transponder) transmitted frequency is not the responsibility of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) Radio Operator. The GMDSS Radio Operator is responsible for testing and maintaining the SART, including placing it in test mode, verifying its operation, inspecting its container, and ensuring the batteries are replaced before expiration. However, measuring the SART's transmitted frequency is typically done by specialized technicians or maintenance personnel, not the GMDSS Radio Operator.
