Explanatory note

This note is not part of the notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This notice:

  • amends the provisions in the VHF bands as a result of the recent changes to Appendix 18 of the International Radio Regulations, to enable wideband digital communications and further capacity for ship tracking;
  • expands the provision for earth stations on-board vessels (ESV) to operate in the 14 – 14.5 GHz range (formerly 14 – 14.25 GHz), and also removes the restriction on elevation angle in order to allow a greater angle of transmission from an ESV; and
  • amends the provision for maritime radionavigation radars in the 5470 – 5650 MHz range (formerly 5470 – 5850 MHz) to reflect the typical shipborne radar applications that are permissible in New Zealand.
