Radio licenses

(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver, you 
must have a current radio station license before using the 
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is 
not licensed.

Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government 
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license. This license in-
cludes 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 near the transceiver or be kept with the operator. Only 
a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However,  non-licensed  individuals  may  talk  over  a  trans-
ceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call 
and makes the necessary log entries.

A current copy of the applicable government rules and reg-
ulations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which 
a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are 
not required to have these on hand it is your responsibility 
to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and reg-
ulations.
