The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for radio transmitters and receivers, for use on vessels, operating in either the Medium Frequency (MF) only or in the Medium and High Frequency (MF/HF) bands allocated in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations [i.9], to the Maritime Mobile Service (MMS). The present document refers to equipment for one or more of the following: - Single SideBand (SSB) modulation for telephony transmission and reception (J3E); - Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or SSB modulation of a keyed sub-carrier to transmit and receive Digital Selective Calling (DSC) signals. The present document also refers to radio equipment with either an integrated or external DSC controller. The requirements in the present document are applicable to receivers for operating on all frequencies in the bands 1 606,5 kHz to 4 000 kHz or 1 606,5 kHz to 27,5 MHz as allocated in the ITU Radio Regulations [i.9], to the MMS. Other spot frequency receivers should meet all the requirements of the present document and other relevant standards as applicable for the frequencies and modes provided. If the equipment, or parts of it, are designed in such a manner that they can be used for other categories of maritime radiocommunication (e.g. Morse telegraphy or NBDP - ETSI ETS 300 067 [i.4]), those parts of the equipment should fulfil the relevant requirements of the appropriate standards for the service(s) in question e.g. ETSI ETS 300 067 [i.4]. The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 and article 3.3(g) of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] under the conditions identified in annex A.
