5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION

FURUNO radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)

requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.

5.1 STATION LICENSE

An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in

U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is less than 20 meters in length. However,

any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carry-

ing an HF single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is re-

quired to have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applica-

tions for ship (506) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet
