ï ï RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
In some countries, you must have a current radio station li-
cense before using the transceiver.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This
government-issued license states the call sign which is your
craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio
is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations
handy.
Radio license for boaters (U.S.A. only)
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 permits recreational
boaters to have and use a VHF marine radio, EPIRB, and
marine radar without having an FCC ship station license.
Boaters travelling on international voyages, having an HF
single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal,
or required to carry a marine radio under any other regula-
tion must still carry an FCC ship station license. For further
information, see the FCC Ship Radio Stations Fact Sheet.
