   (b) The mode and format of the transmissions mentioned in this section
   is in accordance with ITU-R M.540-2 (incorporated by reference, see
   § 80.7) as specified in § 80.1101.

   (c) Maritime safety information is transmitted by means of narrow-band
   direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction using the
   frequency 518 kHz in accordance with the international NAVTEX system
   (see § 80.1077).

   (d) The frequency 490 kHz may be used, after full implementation of the
   GMDSS, for the transmission of maritime safety information by means of
   narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction
   (see § 80.1077).

   (e) Internationally, the frequency 4209.5 kHz is used for NAVTEX-type
   transmissions by means of narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy with
   forward error correction (see § 80.1077).

   (f) Maritime safety information is transmitted by means of narrow-band
   direct-printing telegraphy with forward error correction using the
   frequencies 4210 kHz, 6314 kHz, 8416.5 kHz, 12579 kHz, 16806.5 kHz,
   19680.5, 22376 kHz, and 26100.5 kHz (see § 80.1077).
