16. ARD HORIZON Page 3 ABOUT THIS RADIO 3 1 ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with NOAA Weather stations available between 161 and 163 MHz The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are es sentially line of sight VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings hills or trees Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter When transmitting using a fixed mount 25 W radio the expected transmission distance can be greater than 15 miles for a portable handheld 5 W radio the expected transmission distance can be greater than 5 miles in line of sight The user of a Marine VHF radio is subject to severe fines if the radio is used on land The reasoning for this is you may be near an inland waterway or propagation anomalies may cause your transmission to be heard in a water way If this occurs depending upon the marine VHF channel on which you are transmitting you could interfere with a search and rescue replace case with operation or contribute to a collision between passing ships For VHF Marine channel assignments refer to section 9 VHF MARINE CHANNEL CHART ASSIGNMENT WARNING This radio is capable of transmitting on Marine VHF The FCC allows the use of VHF Marine band on water areas only How ever the FCC does not allow the use of the VH
