Industry Canada Antenna Notice
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

l’aide d’une antenne d’un type et un maximum (ou moins) Gain approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Pour réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type d’antenne et son gain
doivent être choisis afin que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui

Sea Tow Automated Radio Check (ARC) System
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.
