Internationaal Verdrag van Torremolinos voor de beveiliging van vissersvaartuigen, 1977
(1) The radiotelegraph installation required by Regulation 123 shall include a transmitter, a receiver and a source of energy. It shall be so designed that it can be used in an emergency by an unskilled person.
(2) The transmitter shall be capable of transmitting on the radiotelegraph distress frequency using a class of emission assigned by the Radio Regulations for that frequency. The transmitter shall also be capable of transmitting on the frequency, and of using a class of emission, assigned by the Radio Regulations for use by survival craft in the bands between 4 000 kilohertz and 27 500 kilohertz.
(3) The transmitter shall, if modulated emission is prescribed by the Radio Regulations, have a depth of modulation of not less than 70 per cent and a note frequency between 450 hertz and 1 350 hertz.
(4) In addition to a key for manual transmissions the transmitter shall be fitted with an automatic keying device for the transmission of the radiotelegraph alarm and distress signals.
(5) On the radiotelegraph distress frequency the transmitter shall have a minimum normal range as specified in Regulation 137(5) of 25 miles using the fixed antenna.
(6) The receiver shall be capable of receiving the radiotelegraph distress frequency and the classes of emission assigned by the Radio Regulations for that frequency.
(7) The source of energy shall consist of an accumulator battery with sufficient capacity to supply the transmitter for four hours continuously under normal working conditions. If the battery is of a type that requires charging, means shall be available for charging it from the vessel's power supply. In addition there shall be a means for charging it after the lifeboat has been launched.
(8) When the power for the radiotelegraph installation and the searchlight required by Regulation 123 are drawn from the same battery, it shall have sufficient capacity to provide for the additional load of the searchlight.
(9) A fixed-type antenna shall be provided together with means for supporting it at the maximum practicable height. In addition an antenna supported by a kite or balloon shall be provided if practicable.
(10) At sea a radio officer shall at weekly intervals test the transmitter using a suitable artificial antenna, and shall bring the battery up to full charge if it is of a type which requires charging.
(2) The transmitter shall be capable of transmitting on the radiotelegraph distress frequency using a class of emission assigned by the Radio Regulations for that frequency. The transmitter shall also be capable of transmitting on the frequency, and of using a class of emission, assigned by the Radio Regulations for use by survival craft in the bands between 4 000 kilohertz and 27 500 kilohertz.
(3) The transmitter shall, if modulated emission is prescribed by the Radio Regulations, have a depth of modulation of not less than 70 per cent and a note frequency between 450 hertz and 1 350 hertz.
(4) In addition to a key for manual transmissions the transmitter shall be fitted with an automatic keying device for the transmission of the radiotelegraph alarm and distress signals.
(5) On the radiotelegraph distress frequency the transmitter shall have a minimum normal range as specified in Regulation 137(5) of 25 miles using the fixed antenna.
