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

An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in
U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length. 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
have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship
