The frequencies your radio uses are set aside to enhance safety afloat and for vessel 

navigation and operational messages over a range suitable for nearshore voyages.  

If the 3 watt maximum output of your radio is not sufficient for the distances you travel 

from the coast, consider a higher powered handheld or installing a Cobra Marine fixed 

mount radio with up to 25 watts of output power. (Visit www.cobra.com or your 

local dealer for model availability.)
If traveling far offshore, you should consider adding even more powerful radio 

equipment such as HF single side band or satellite radio for your vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard does not endorse cellular telephones as substitutes for marine 

radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a 

distress call on a cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you. 

Additionally, cellular telephones may have limited coverage over water and can be 

hard to locate. If you do not know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficulty 

finding you if you are using a cellular telephone.
However, cellular telephones can have a place on board where cellular coverage  

is available — to allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies 

uncluttered and available for their intended uses.

Please try the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service. Areas where the safety check

service is available include the East Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and Southern California,

as well as in select inland regions. The first and only boating safety program of its

kind, the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service is fully automated and allows 24

hour a day automatic responses to radio check calls.
Conducting a radio check through the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service

couldn’t be simpler. All boaters need to do is tune their VHF radios to Channel 24, 25,

26, 27 or 28, depending on the region, key the mic, and ask for a radio check. The

Automated Radio Check system responds to each radio check with an automated

reply, and also replays to the boater’s original radio transmission, allowing him or her

to assess the strength of the signal and confirm the VHF radio is in good working order.
To find the Sea Tow Automated Radio Check service channel in an area, owners

should visit http://www.seatow.com/arc. The web page links to an instructional video

demonstrating how to use the service step by step.

CobraMarine VHF radios comply with the FCC (Federal Communications 

Commission) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service.
The radio operates on all currently allocated marine channels and is switchable for 

use according to U.S.A., International or Canadian regulations. It features instant 

access to emergency Channel 16 and calling Channel 9 as well as NOAA (National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) All Hazards Radio with Alert that can be 

accessed by pressing one (1) button.

An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S.A. waters 

which uses a VHF marine radio, RADAR, or EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating 

Radio Beacon), and which is not required to carry radio equipment. However, any vessel 

required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying an HF single side 

band radiotelephone, or carrying a marine satellite terminal must obtain a station license.
FCC license forms and applications for ship and land stations can be downloaded through 

the Internet at www.fcc.gov. Forms can also be obtained by calling the FCC at 888-225-5322.

If your vessel will be entering the sovereign waters of a country other than the 

U.S.A. or Canada, you should contact that country’s communications regulatory 

authority for licensing information.

Currently, the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a license. The United 

States Coast Guard recommends that the boat’s registration number and state of 

registry (e.g., IL 1234 AB) be used as a call sign and be clearly visible on the vessel.
