Appendix C - Radio Channels

The MCB 7270 radio is a marine band (MB) radio that includes a land band (CB) capability. The MCB 7270 radio should be installed in a boat and operated from a boat.

The marine band (MB) should be used to communicate with other boats and coast guard stations. The land band (CB) should be used from the boat only to communicate with individuals or organisations based on the land.

If you require a radio only for land-based communications, use a CB radio.
