FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION

Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commis-
sion (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 is under 20 meters in length. However, any vessel re-
quired to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying a HF
single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to
have a ship station 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.
