Radio Operator Requirements

Do not transmit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna unless

that person or persons are shielded from the antenna by a grounded metallic

barrier. This is especially important on vessels with antennas mounted as

described in B where no one may be within 9' (2.8 m) horizontally from the

base of the antenna during transmissions.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ABOVE LIMITS MAY EXPOSE THOSE WITHIN 

THE MPE RADIUS TO RF ENERGY ABSORPTION IN EXCESS OF THE FCC

MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE. IT IS THE RADIO OPERATOR’S

RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE THAT MPE LIMITS ARE HEEDED AND THAT 

NO ONE IS WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS DURING TRANSMISSIONS.

Antenna Lead Attachment

Once the antenna is installed, the Coaxial Cable Lead can 

be attached to the socket at the back of the transceiver.

CAUTION 

Attempting to transmit without an antenna attached

will damage your CobraMarine

VHF radio.

Antenna Requirements

Your CobraMarine

VHF radio requires an external marine antenna 

to send signals into the air and to receive them. The radio is arranged 

to use any of the popular marine VHF antennas, but it is up to you to 

choose which antenna to use.

Since it represents the link between your radio and the outside world, 

Cobra

®

suggests you purchase the best quality antenna, coaxial cable, 

and connectors you can. This is best accomplished with the advice 

and guidance of a knowledgeable dealer who can assess the variables 

involved with your particular boat and preferences.

WARNING 

Compliance with FCC requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure is 

the responsibility of both the antenna installer and the radio operator.

Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Radius

To avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, FCC OET

Bulletin 65 establishes an MPE radius of 10' (3 m) for the maximum power 

of your radio with an antenna having a maximum power gain of 9 dBi. 

This means that all persons must be at least 10' (3 m) away from the 

antenna when the radio is transmitting.

Installation Requirements

A) An omnidirectional antenna with a gain not greater than 9 dBi must 

be mounted at least 16.4' (5 m) above the highest deck where people 

may be during radio transmissions, measured vertically from the lowest

point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation distance 

to comply with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE 

radius of 10' (3 m) plus the 6.6' (2 m) height of an adult.

B) For vessels without structure to mount the antenna as described in A, 

it must be mounted as follows AND all persons must be outside the 

10' (3 m) MPE radius during radio transmissions. The antenna must 

be mounted so that its lowest point is at least 3.3' (1 m) vertically above 

the heads of all persons during radio transmissions.
