Q

What is maximum power allowed by the FCC for VHF-FM radio transmissions?

🔍 Key Concepts

• FCC VHF marine radio power limits for non-portable radios • Difference between routine ship-to-ship/ship-to-shore communications and low-power harbor or intership channels • Typical fixed-mount vs. handheld VHF radio output levels

💭 Think About

• Think about the common transmit power of a fixed, panel-mounted VHF radio on most commercial and recreational vessels. • Which power level is normally used for everyday communications, with a lower-power option selected only when close to the other station? • Eliminate any options that are clearly too low for offshore range and too high to be standard on small vessels.

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall the usual maximum output power of a standard fixed-mount VHF marine radio as approved by the FCC. • Consider that many sets have a high/low power switch—what are those two typical power settings? • Verify which of the choices matches the standard high-power setting for marine VHF radios on most vessels.
