BC Boating | Coastal Navigation | Maritime Radio Operator Course|the word phrase that means the conversation is ended and no response is expected

When using the Marine VHF radio, there are specific phrases which are used to insure clear communications.

Despite what you may have heard on numerous TV shows, I am remembering "Dragnet" with Sgt. Joe Friday, the phrase "Over and Out" is never used.

"Over" means I have finished speaking and I expect a response from you.

"Out"  means the conversation is ended and no response is expected.
