1.4.3 Message Checks
In the course of VHF exchanges it is often necessary to check mutual understanding, i.e. if the other station follows the conversation, or when we have made a mistake during the transmission. This is done by the use of the following SMCP phrases:
UNDERSTOOD:
MISTAKE … CORRECTION
STAY ON
NOTHING MORE
SAY AGAIN
