22 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION

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

22.1 STATION LICENSE

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 appli-
cations for ship (605) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the
Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form605/605.html. To obtain a form
from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322.

Radio Station License. The USCG recommends the boats registration
