15 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION
Standard Horizon radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission
(FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.
15.1 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 applications 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.
15.2 RADIO CALL SIGN
Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Radio
Station License. The USCG recommends the boats registration number and
the state to be used when calling another vessel.
