FCC AND CANADA RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION

Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commis-
sion (FCC) and Industry-Canada requirements that regulate the Maritime
Radio Service.

MARITIME STATION LICENSE

An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in
U.S. waters which uses a UHF 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. FCC license forms, including ap-
plications for ship (605) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the
Internet at www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form605/605.html. To obtain a form from the
FCC, call (888) 225-5322.
