3. ABOUT THIS RADIO
3.1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND
WARNING:
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with
NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band
provides communications over distances that are essentially "Line of sight" Actual
transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the
power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected
distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5W radio transmission the expected
distance can be greater than 5 miles in "Line of sight."
The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fines if the radio is used on land. The
reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway, or propagation anomalies may
cause your transmission to be heard in a waterway. If this occurs, depending upon the
marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting, you could interfere with a search and
rescue case, or contribute to a collision between passing ships. For VHF Marine channel
assignments refer to page 47 section 16.
