ABOUT THE VHF MARINE BAND: The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “Line of sight” Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25 W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles, for a portable 5 W radio transmission the expected distance can be greater than 5 miles in “Line of sight”. The use of Marine VHF radio is governed by regulation and local laws. Use by unauthorized persons is not permitted and is subject to fines and confiscation if convicted. This is especially true when the radio is used on land in a non marine environment where because of location or propagation anomalies es-pecially during the summer, the transmission may cause interference with a search and rescue operation or contribute to a marine collision between pass-ing ships.
