FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION

Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.

STATION LICENSE

An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters
which uses a VHF marine radio, RADAR or EPIRB, and which is not required to carry radio
equipment. However, any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage,
carrying a HF single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to
carry a license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship (506) and land station
licenses can be downloaded via the Internet at www.fcc.gov/forms. To obtain a form from
the FCC, call (888) 225-5322.

RADIO CALL SIGN

Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Radio Station
License. The USCG recommends the boats registration number and the state to be used.
