When the ship is at sea both main and auxiliary aerials shall at all times be capable of immediate connection with the main radio transmitter by means of a switch or link. A spare length of aerial wire shall be carried on board for use in case the main and emergency aerials are destroyed or otherwise rendered useless.

7. On every ship there shall be provided and maintained radio-receiving apparatus as herein specified :—

(i) A wireless receiver capable of receiving waves of Types A1, A2, and B on frequencies of from 6,000 kilocycles per second to 25,000 kilocycles per second :

Provided that until such apparatus is, in the opinion of the Naval Board, readily available it shall be sufficient compliance with the foregoing requirements if the receiver is capable of receiving waves of the types aforesaid on frequencies of from 6,000 kilocycles per second to 20,000 kilocycles per second.

(ii) A wireless receiver capable of receiving waves of types A1, A2, and B on frequencies of from 15 kilocycles per second to 1,000 kilocycles per second ; or

(iii) In lieu of the apparatus specified in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this clause a single wireless receiver capable of receiving waves of Types A1, A2, and B on all frequencies referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this clause :

(iv) A wireless receiver separate from any receiver referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this clause and capable of receiving waves on frequencies from 488 kilocycles to 513 kilocycles :

(v) Sufficient batteries to operate the receivers :

(vi) Adequate mechanism to recharge the batteries while maintaining continuous reception on any one receiver.

8. On any ship there may, in addition to the apparatus hereinbefore referred to, be carried the following radio-receiving apparatus, namely :—

(i) One set of direction-finding apparatus ;

(ii) One set of auto-alarm apparatus ;

(iii) One set of radio-telephony apparatus ;

(iv) One echometer sounding apparatus ;

(v) One radio-receiving set for use in emergency ;

(vi) As many sets fitted in lifeboats or specifically provided for use in lifeboats as there are lifeboats carried on the ship ;

(vii) One broadcast radio-receiving set with such loud-speaker extensions as may be desired for the use of members of the crew and passengers ;

(viii) If the apparatus described in the last preceding paragraph (vii) of this clause be not carried then one broadcast radio-receiving set installed in each mess-room or recreation-room provided for the use of members of the crew and one broadcast radio-receiving set installed for each class of passenger carried :

Provided, first, that the total number of receiving-sets authorized by this paragraph on any ship shall not exceed twelve in number :

Provided, secondly, that no extension loud-speaker shall be used with any apparatus installed under the authority of this paragraph.

(ix) A radio-receiving set installed in the master’s cabin.

9. No radio-receiving apparatus shall be installed or used on any ship except such apparatus as is required or permitted by this order, and no other radio-receiving apparatus, whether the property of the shipowner or crew or passengers or of any other person, shall be carried on any ship except as cargo or except under seal and in the custody of the master.

10. No radio-receiving apparatus shall be installed or used on any ship without the personal approval of the master.

11. Every broadcast radio-receiving set installed under the authority of paragraph (vii) or paragraph (viii) of clause 8 hereof shall be fitted in a position approved by an authorized officer, and shall be secured so that it cannot be removed by any unauthorized person.

12. The electrical energy actuating every broadcast radio-receiving set installed under the authority of paragraph (vii) or paragraph (viii) of clause 8 hereof shall be controlled by a switch capable of being locked, and the key of every such lock shall be retained in the custody or under the direct control of the master.

13. No aerial shall be used in connection with any broadcast radio-receiving set installed under the authority of paragraph (vii), paragraph (viii), or paragraph (ix) of clause 8 hereof—

(i) If any part of such aerial is within 50 ft. in any direction of the aerials of a direction-finder ; or

(ii) If the aerial is liable to set up electrical interference with any other of the ship’s radio installations :

Provided that this clause shall not apply to an aerial fitted in a permanent manner the position and character of which have been approved by an authorized officer.

14. The radiation from any radio-receiving apparatus when attached to an aerial suitable for receiving on any of the frequencies for which the apparatus is capable of being used shall not exceed one-tenth of a microvolt per metre when measured at a distance of one nautical mile :

Provided that apparatus installed prior to the coming into force of this order and not complying with the requirements of this clause may continue to be used until the first reasonable opportunity exists of replacing it or bringing it into compliance herewith.

15. The master of the ship shall take steps to ensure that the degree of radiation from all radio-receiving apparatus of the ship is frequently checked by the senior radio officer and shall carry adequate testing equipment for this purpose.

16. The Naval Board or an authorized officer may by notice in writing exempt any ship and the master thereof from any of the requirements of this order, and any such exemption may relate to the period of any one or more voyages or a part or parts thereof and be granted subject to such conditions as the Naval Board or authorized officer thinks fit to impose and may at any time be revoked by notice given by the Naval Board or an authorized officer to the master for the time being of the ship in respect of which the exemption was granted.

17. Nothing in this Order shall authorize the use of any radio-receiving apparatus in respect of which a license is required by any Act or regulations if such license has not been obtained or is not in force, and nothing in any such license shall authorize the use of radio-transmitting apparatus or radio-receiving apparatus in breach of this Order.
