    Rules and Manners The FM-2721 fully complies with the requirements for international maritime VHF radio service. It is intended to be used by a person who holds a valid radio operator’s license and station call sign.Below are some important rules, regulations and manners for operating the equipment.

  • Page 63: Communication Distance

    Communication Distance The FM-2721 operates on the VHF band assigned for maritime mobile stations. The VHF radio wave, unlike LF or HF, propagates like a light ray. Thus communication is only available with another VHF antenna which is above the horizon. This is called line-of-sight.
